We have two new articles posted to the GLLUG website:
A Day in the Sun by Frank Dolinar
Desktop Linux Overview by Caleb Cushing
Go check them out at http://www.gllug.org if you get the chance. I'd
like to point out that anyone on the mailing list or attending the
meetings can send me their articles for publication on the website.
And speaking of contributions, we're very nearly dry on meeting topics
for April and beyond. If you have anything you'd like to present, please
let me know. The meeting topic doesn't have to be a presentation per se.
If you'd just like to have a Q&A session, that's fine too. We can even
spend the evening just talking about something or working on a problem.
In short, I'm putting it to the group to toss out a few ideas. Not long
ago, Jeff suggested that we, as a group, start or contribute to an open
source project. This is a good idea, but experience has shown that most
people attend for the information and the socializing. Most of the
actual work done on a project or workshop at a meeting is done by one or
two people. Maybe after Penguicon, we could start up something like
that, but it definitely won't take over the meetings. June has an extra
Thursday in it, so maybe we could do a BBQ that month.
It won't be a train wreck if we just spend a meeting here and there
socializing. But if we don't have some direction for most of the
meetings, it'll be hard to maintain and expand our membership.
Here are a few topics worth considering:
- Databases
- Basic command-line concepts (since we have a few newer Linux users
attending regularly)
- Virtualization
- Networking
- Desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, your favorite window manager)
- Security concepts
Any other topics that you would like to see covered?
