If I haven't RSVP'd already, consider this your notice.
I plan to bring a car full with me, although everyone is tentative,
as they are wont to be.
Any plans for dinner before-hand?
How about that car pool page? What did you have in mind.
Anyone in the Concord-Hopkinton-Warner area (or willing to drive
there): looks like I have 1 seat, possibly more open for the trip to
Dartmouth. Email me off-list if interested.

The next regular monthly meeting of the DLSLUG will be held:

All are welcome, free of charge.
This meeting is also the Quarterly Meeting of the GNHLUG.
Agenda
7:00 Sign-in, networking
7:15 Introductory remarks
7:20 Ancestry of Linux - How the Fun Began
Presenter: Doug McIlroy
Way back when, I used Whirlwind, a machine 3 stories
high with a huge memory (2K!). As computers grew
physically smaller and logically bigger, I saw and
worked on a bunch of operating systems right up until
Unix, which was born in my department at Bell Labs.
I've lived with generations of Unix ever since. My
talk will touch on events that led up to Unix, its
heady early days, and its subsequent place in
the world of computing. With more than mere nostalgia,
I would say of Unix--as Tony Hoare did of Algol--
that it often improved upon its successors.
About the presenter: Doug was head of the Computing
Techniques Research Department at Bell Labs from 1965
to 1986 where his group invented Unix and he developed
the concept of Unix pipes as well as essential tools
including spell, diff, sort, and tr. He is also well-
known for inventing the idea of software components.
Doug is currently an Adjunct Professor of Computer
Science at Dartmouth College.
8:40 GNHLUG ByLaws / Non-Profit Status
Ted Roche will present the work a group of volunteers
has done to develop a set of bylaws for GNHLUG, on
the road to non-profit status and as an IRS-recognized
charitable organization. Discussion to follow.
Please see the website for links to directions.
If any area companies are interested in sponsoring refreshments,
please
let me know.
Please RSVP so we can give a refreshment sponsor a headcount.
