I like Tuesday the 22nd. Three things that I would like to see or do
during the meetings is see more of the Linux desktop stuff, do some new
installs on site, and have the meeting some where with bandwidth
available.
As far as the current content of the meetings, the server stuff is
great, and has gotten me looking a stuff that I would like to try on my
own network. But I would really like to see some stuff geared towards
running Linux as a desktop operating system. The music and scripting
stuff looks good. Maybe some demos of what can be done with a Linux
desktop computer (UT2003 anyone?)
How feasible would it be to invite some people to bring thier computers
in to have linux installed? Getting distrobution discs there never
seems to b a problem (BTW if anyone wants Redhat 8, let me know and I
will bring some copies to the next meeting). And unless the machine
that we are installing on is a real dog, 3 hours is plenty of time to
install it on. Maybe we can set minimum specs and invite some people to
bring in a computer? Is anyone on the list looking at linux, but hasn't
gotten around to dipping thier toes in the water? Maybe bring in some
live demo CD's?
As far as the bandwith goes, I know there was discussion earlier about
using the old city hall building. And I understand that we got
unoffical permission to do so? Have we found out who we need to ask
"Hi, I'm from the Juneau Linux Users Group. Can we use one of your
confrence rooms on October 22nd for our meeting along with a network
connection for internet acess?" (The second part should probably be
specified, lest we get accused of hacking and get banned or worse.)
All Hail James, BDFL!!
