As far as I know, there are no monthly meetings anymore.
http://hlug.unl.edu/ seems to be gone. All that's really left is this
mailing lists which is always being flooded with Microsoft FUD, which
annoys the crap out of me. It was nice to see the iptables guide and
actually something FOSS / linux related for once instead of all this
Microsoft fear mongering.
I'd be down for helping out getting meetings going again, not sure I
have too many ties to get presentations or anything but I'd be willing
to give it a shot. Not sure how many people are around over the summer
semester but it might be a good time to get the ball rolling again and
start planning meetings / presentations. If anybody else wants to take
any leadership go right ahead, I'm just volunteering my time to help get
things going again.
