Sorry for responding so late with some thoughts about ongoing activities and tonight's meeting.
At the January meeting there was some discussion of the purpose and/or mission of HAMLUG. Further discussion to clarify and build a consensus in this area would strengthen efforts to promote and expand the group. The website could be viewed as a tangible reflection of both group purpose and activities. Efforts to prepare for TCF could provide additional content leveraging time and effort. Collaboration has been a background theme in many of the recent messages. Exploring ways to facilitate participation without overburdening individual members is another useful topic (see references to website above :)). david David Ross 194 Varsity Ave. Princeton, NJ 08540-6424 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: (609) 452-0349 fax: (609) 452-0349 cell: (914) 548-8857 text message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Wayne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 8:26 PM To: HamLug email list Subject: Monday's HAMLUG meeting agenda I almost forgot there was a HAMLUG meeting Monday, February 5.

Linux Expo stories and business may take a good chunk of time and, if necessary, Jerry and/or Wayne can further expound and pontificate on technical issues. -------------------------------------------------------- We will set up a LAN at the meeting so bring a computer if you wish. Windows machines are welcome as we do cross platform magic (and learn about SAMBA). If you have a NIC you can join our LAN. Bring ethernet hubs and power strips and cat-5 cables and monitor and Keyboard and rodent. Conversation will be provided. We will have a DHCP server running to speed the LAN setup and configuration If you'd like help with an install or some vexing linux problem you can bring your machine to the meeting and get some help with it. Contact someone in advance so they are prepared to assist and plan to come early or stay late. We'd love to help. (Normal disclaimers in place. Make a backup. No guarantees - but there are some pretty sharp Linux folk at the meetings who love to help make things work.) =========================================
