We then talked about new and fun technologies that people have played
with.
Next we discussed going over the Linux Professional certification
requirements and putting together a schedule and plan for presenting
sections. Here is what was arrived upon:
The curriculum will be based upon "the LPI Certification exam prep"
presented by IBM's DeveloperWorks and written by Daniel Robbins of
Gentoo fame.
11/13/2003 -11/30/2003
Locate a location in the East Lansing where 20-40 people could meet
with computers (possibly as part of the location) available for the
following dates and preferably free.
Roger Webster volunteered to contact a few of the municipalities such
as the library, the pump house, the public schools, and a few other
locations. Another member was going to check into using the second floor
of a building on Trowbridge where he had attended a meeting before. If
any one else has any suggestions or ideas please check into them and
report to the list with the subject "LPI Location".
Find presenters: if you are willing and available to present one or
more of the following sections please post to the list under the subject
"LPI Presenter" and list the sections you would be interested in
presenting in priority order. We will tally them at the next meeting and
post the finalized schedule after the next meeting.
Jeff Lawton volunteered to check into media coverage such as the
newspaper, wkar, public access channels and a few others. Also if anyone
else has contacts or ideas please post to the list with the subject line
"LPI Media"
I have also just left a message for Brad Fears asking if he would be
able to add an RSVP area to the website. I have not heard back yet. I
will post on this when he gets back to me. if anyone else anything they
have built, used, or would like to build(quickly) that would work nicely
here please post under "LPI RSVP"
12/11/2003
The next GLLUG meeting to discuss what we have for turnout so far, and
what other details need to be addressed. Agree on presenters for the
sections based on the people who volunteered and fill any holes that are
left.
