[GLLUG] p-con update

[Charles]

Hi all,

I apologize profusely for the late notice, but I am not going to be able
to attend Penguicon this year. Partly due to financial constraints,
partly due to lack of time, and partly because my effort at trying to 
make the Computer Lounge a success for four years in a row is (to be 
extremely polite) less than appreciated by the current organizer. It 
doesn't please me to to drop the one thing that I most look forward to 
all year long, but what can I say? I've got big projects at work, a 
house that's deteriorating faster than I can patch it up, and a new 
addition to the family on the way. I don't need the added stress right 
now. The computer lounge used to be a project where if you saw something 
that needed doing, you just did it without waiting for instructions or 
approval from someone. Just like an open source software project. I 
guess it's not like that any more.

The volunteer schedule is up to date, but not yet nearly full. I will 
accept additions, changes and corrections up until Thursday night and 
then I will post an exported version to the list for anyone to do with 
as they please. Here's the URL if you need a reminder:

The terminal server is all set to go (no assembly required) and is 
running Ubuntu 9.04 with all updates applied and a squid web cache
installed and configured. The first 30 MAC addresses that connect to the
server's static interface will automatically boot to a desktop.

Good luck with the lounge and the cookout, guys. Hope to see some of you
fine folk in the near future.

Charles
