[tslug] meeting
All right then, I just got done reading 200 freaking pages of french...so it goes something like: Voulez-vous rendez-vous a six heure et demi pour discuter un peu les affaires de FSCK et Linux...well or something like that. Plain: FSCK meeting VH1232 0630p ** if you wanna know what open source project are going on on-campus you should come (scholarship work) ...that animportant one I'll have the most info on right now. ** interested working off-campus with kids on linux some information on that too [if you think that's nothing for you because you are not "talented working with kids" -- rethink! After all, how many Dads are out there?] ** FSCK.config # some stuff concerning FSCK for this semester show up if you can. geetz, alex - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -

[tslug] Meeting tomorrow!
Hello all! There will be a meeting tomorrow at 6:30pm in VH1232. This would be a good meeting to attend to ask questions about the installfest, such as, 'What do I need to bring?' and 'Which distro should I install?' or anything else you're curious about.

Be there. Woo. Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting Wednesday!
We will have a meeting tomorrow evening at 6:30 in VH1232. The agenda: Joseph Hainline will talk about "LaTeX to Braille Translation" and Jeremiah J. Mitchell will talk about 'Rummilet: Multiplayer Java Game'. These are Capstone presentations and should be worth the time. Possibly, TSLUG will discuss dues ($15), next semester's events, and officer positions/elections. If there is a ton of time, we could also talk about encryption. Don & Ian both have talks pertinent to that subject. Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting tonight
Hi! We'll be having a meeting tonight at 6:30 in VH1232, as usual. We need to talk about dues, officers/elections, and something linux-y. In a pinch, I could maybe, sorta talk about window managers. It might also be nice to devote some time to (Red Hat) Fedora. Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting October 29: Linux Games
On Wednesday October 29th, 6:30pm in VH1232 we will have our TSLUG meeting. I plan on giving a presentation on Linux games. Basically, this means I bring my computer in and show you some of the options. These are the games I might demo: *Neverwiner Nights (w/expansion) *Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo *Starfighter (yey! Amiga game developers make the best games.) *Frozen-bubble *Kiki the Nano Bot *fortune (not really a game, but its funny and people should know about it) Email me if you know of any other cool free-as-in-beer games. And probably show off the huge list of games available easily for Gentoo Linux. And as usual, bring any Linux questions and SCO-bashing. -- Ian Monroe http://www.monroe.nu - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting tomorrow!!
There will be a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at our usual time & place (6:30pm in VH1232). We should probably talk about the programming contest and get some kind of opinion ironed out. I expect to have some installfest wrap up as well, especially if newly-installed people come with quasi-specific questions. Maybe other important stuff will happen too, Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -

[tslug] Meeting Thursday
All, Don't forget that we have a meeting on Thursday at 6pm in VH1208. We'll be focusing on the Stallman event and IEEE, but bring Linux questions (and answers) as well. Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting(s?) Next week
Hello! Next week, the three 'computing' groups (ACM, TWICS, TSLUG) will be meeting at 6pm on Thursday the 18th in VH1208. We will be talking about the workshops and Stallman's speech, as well as looking at starting a chapter of the IEEE here at Truman. It'll be a great time to get questions of all kinds answered. So, because of this, I would like to move our regular meeting to the Wednesday two weeks from now - September 24. How's that strike you? Talk to me if that's a horrible thing for you or if you have suggestions. My plan for that meeting would be twofold - finish preparations for the workshops and Stallman, and have a "Linux on the Truman Network" kind of set up and configuration talk to include some or all of the following topics: getting your computer recognized on the network, samba, ssh, vnc If anyone would like to share a little bit of expertise email me to volunteer for one or more of the topics. Also, I would like to have the installfest the weekend after Stallman, so either the 4th or the 5th of October (Saturday or Sunday) in the afternoon. We could have it 1:30pm-6ish on Saturday, but it is Parents' (or Family or something) weekend so it would be better to have it on Sunday. But, we can only have it 11am to 4pm on Sunday. This assumes we really want it in VH1010, and we do. Any votes? Finally, a table has been reserved for the Fall Premiere, which is an event for prospective Truman students. Now we need a couple people who will be willing to be in the Activities room from 9 to 10:30am. So, assuming that people are ok with those meetings at those times and places, here is a list of events: Sept 18 - Super Meeting, VH1208 at 6pm Sept 20 - Fall Premiere, Activities room from 9 to 10:30am Sept 24 - Regular TSLUG Meeting, VH1232 at 6:30pm Sept 30 - Workshop 1, 6-8pm, maybe VH1232? - I'm not sure Oct 1 - Workshop 2, same time/place Oct 2 - Workshop 3 Oct 3 - Stallman, 4-7pm in VH1000 Oct 4 or 5 - Installfest in VH1010 Send me/the list thoughts, Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting Wednesday (tomorrow!)
Hello! We're meeting at 6:30 tomorrow (Wednesday) in VH1232. Sorry for the short notice! If the day/time doesn't work very well for you, email me and we'll try to work something out. We'll be discussing Now on to more exciting things. Richard Stallman has agreed to come and speak here at Truman. He will be here on Friday, October 3rd, and his main speech will be from 4-7pm, with a Q&A session afterwards. It will be in VH 1000. This is cool. Our major involvement in this will be to help with the workshop session we'll be having after Stallman's speech. Once the subjects are decided on, we'll need volunteers to help present the material, as well as people who are interested in wandering the room(s) to provide assistance when people get stuck. Also, we need to think about an installfest sometime. Probably. :) Anyway, that's 6:30pm Wednesday in VH1232. Be there.

[tslug] Meeting on Wednesday
Hello all! We'll be meeting on Wednesday as usual, at 6:30 pm in VH1232. It should be fun, because Frank Fleschner will bring his Powerbook and will show it off a little bit. I'd also like to get a couple volunteers for our MOSIX project, as it looks like that's gonna be taking off pretty soon. It might also be nice to talk about donating more minicd's, as the FreeCD seems to be very popular. That's all I can think of, Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting & Projects
Hello! Careful. This is long. At this week's meeting, the discussion was spirited and wide-ranging. Some of the action included Don's demo of Knoppix and preparation for the installfest. Don't forget! It really is this weekend at 1pm in VH1200!! Bring your box, your monitor (if at all possible), a distro disc if you want (they will also be provided), and your power cables. Maybe your mouse & keyboard (makes life simpler). Anyway, attend!! :) We now have two fairly large things we need to plan/talk about. The first is our MOSIX cluster. A cluster is cool because it lets you spread processing out over several computers (or, increase your total computing power by connecting multiple machines together, depending on how you choose to look at it). A MOSIX cluster is especially cool because it automatically spreads your program's processes out over the machines in the cluster - you don't have to write special code into your programs. Anyone who is interested should read up a little bit, and email me or the list saying they're interested. If we can get 3-4 people who want to commit some time to it, I think it'd be a great project. The other project we are involved in is the Linux Workshop Series. This thing is so new I may have just made up the name of it :) Anyway, the other presidents and I met with Dr. Beck this afternoon. He is fully behind the effort. We decided to have what amounts to a division-wide test run this semester (in preparation for a well-funded, campus/town wide set of workshops next Fall), after Spring Break, on the 25, 26, and 27 of March. Here's what we think might happen: ACM meets on Tuesdays, in this case, that's the 25th. During this time slot, all three organizations will sponsor an introductory workshop that deals with Linux and Free Software in a big-picture kind of way. TSLUG meets, as you all know, on Wednesdays. That's the 26th for those of you following along at home. Again, all three organizations will be sponsoring all the workshops. On this Wednesday, we'd like to see a talk/introduction to the Linux user environment from a command prompt perspective (X will be left alone at least for a little while). We may include permissions in here, we may not. A lot of the down & dirty content depends on who we can get to present, and what you guys say - if you want something specific for any of the days, or have any suggestions about any of this event at all, pleasepleaseplease email them to me or the list and they will certainly be considered. Anyway, Thursday is TWICS's usual meeting time; we will be using it for an introduction to text editors by creating a rudimentary web page. It is likely that both major editors (vi & emacs) will be presented. This is the culmination of the three days, with people actually walking through a baby project and using some of the things they've learned. All these workshops would be interactive, with users following along on Xenon, Kronos, or their own machine. Also both ACM and TWICS want an Installfest dedicated to this. This semester, we'll wait and see how many people demand one after the workshops, but for next semester, it would probably be cool to kick things off with an installfest. What do you think? Seriously, if you think it's outrageous, either good or bad, email the list and express yourself. We want input, and we definitely need to gauge the interest there is in this. For what it's worth, I imagine that, over time, higher level topics will start to pop up in this format - if it lives through the next semester or two. By the way, if anyone has insight about the application process FAC uses to distribute money for speakers/events, it'd be much appreciated if you'd tell me - at this point, the three organizations are considering a joint application to fund a Big set of workshops next semester, including a keynote speaker (finally :) ). Yeah. I'm still not done. Does anyone have any favorite/awesome reference cards/tutorials that deal with the proposed topics? That'd be nice. Also, just so you can start planning to attend (!), we'll be having a meeting the week we come back from Spring Break to prepare for the workshop thingie. Watch this space for more details. :) So, I'm not sure that's all, but it's a lot (probly too much. sorry). I think I'll leave you with that. See you tomorrow!

[tslug] Meeting Tomorrow
So tomorrow's the installfest meeting. I'm not sure exactly how everything will go down, but I think I'd basically like to begin with a discussion of what prospective installees need to do before the installfest. I would also like to invite anyone with more general questions to come to the prep. meeting and ask them, and if one wanted, one could bring their box to the Installfest and let someone who knows what they're doing play a little and teach a little. Also, I would like to get a bit of a preliminary head count for how many people will be there tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at 6:30 in VH1232. I'm planning on having food (food = pizza), so I'd like a rough estimate. Thanks all! Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -

Hello all! We'll be having our meeting at the usual time at the usual place (VH 1232 at 6:30pm Wednesday). We'll start the meeting off with discussion about shirts/mousepads/flying discs and what we want to do. After that, I'd like to open the floor to discussion - primarily about linux, but if the discussion becomes, oh... I dunno, a rant about all those small/open/free software developers that are out there threatening the Redmond way of life, I don't suppose I'd stop it :) Nate - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -
[tslug] Meeting & InstallFest
Hello all, Our next meeting will be tonight, (Wednesday) at 6:30 in VH1232. Peter and Bill are working on the Linux security talk and hope to have it ready in time for this meeting. Don will also be giving an introduction to gpg, so come and enjoy the paranoia. I know I will. I'll also be mentioning the details for the InstallFest, so don't miss the meeting! Speaking of the InstallFest, it will be this Saturday from 12 noon until we get done - hopefully by 7ish. You don't have to be there the whole time, and if you partition/format your box (please!) beforehand, the install will probably be done before dinnertime. In preparing your box for the install, you should backup any important data and have an empty partition into which we can install Linux. Also, bring all of the hardware you normally run with, including monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. It makes things easier. We're working on getting an InstallFest web page put together; until then, I'm mirroring an old page from another LUG at http://www2.truman.edu/~c2467/installfest_mirror.html in case you're getting antsy. Some of the details don't apply for TSLUG, but it's got a lot of good info. Watch http://tslug.truman.edu/ for a link to the TSLUG version of the InstallFest page coming soon (I feel like a commercial). Be thinking about T-shirt ideas, and whether we want them or not. Failing that, it might be cool/fun/dorkish to get some other small/cheap product customized for us like ... bumper stickers or mugs or ... vitamins (wouldn't you love to chomp on little Tuxes? Besides, geeks need dietary supplements) or something. Nate PS - I thought I sent this on Monday, but it never showed up in my inbox.

[tslug] meeting time
Everyone, It seems to me that a 7pm meeting time on Thursday evenings may cause inconveniences, if not true conflicts. Would it help more than hurt to move it back a half, or even a whole hour? A later time would be fine by me, but mine is only one voice. What would be the most convenient for you? Nate
[tslug] meeting time; also: Research Opportunity
Nathaniel and tsluggers, Thanks for the information about possible day and time for tslug meetings. I'm certainly interested, though I have a meeting already scheduled for Thursdays around 7 that would usually take priority because my role in that group (the outdoor club) is as an advisor rather than simply an interested member. In any case, I appreciate being on the tslug list, and I look forward to opportunities to increase my conversance with Linux. Please do inform me of the meeting time you choose! On a related issue, I'm looking for one or two good programmers to join my research group, either for scholarship hours, as interested volunteers for the educational opportunity, or even possibly for some institutional pay. My undergraduate research students and I are working with epidemiological modelling, and will soon reach the point where custom-written programs in a high-level language will be helpful. C++, Ada, or even Pascal would do fine. Experience with Linux would be a plus, as I favor the GNU GPL philosophy over that of Microsoft and would prefer to develop the code in the Linux environment. The main requirements for a good match would be good programming skills, willingness to document and explain code, and an interest in helping other group members get up to speed. Initial knowledge of the models themselves would not be required or expected--as mentor I would provide the requisite insights. I find the students who are already on the research team a pleasure to work with, and there is opportunity to make a genuine contribution and program some seriously cool stochastic models. Inquiries would be welcome! Sincerely, Kenneth Carter
[tslug] meeting 4/3
Dear All, Just a reminder that we have a meeting on Wednesday, April 3rd at 7:30 in VH1232. Don will be giving a demonstration/tutorial on using Vi, and we'll spend the remaining time looking at some simple ways to make your computer more secure. Hope to see everybody there! Tyler
[tslug] meeting 5/6
Hello, The next TSLUG meeting will be Wednesday, March 6th at 7:30pm in VH1232. The focus of the meeting will be emulators for Linux. Exactly which emulators depends on which ones I can get working between now and then, but I plan to demo Wine, Dosemu, the palm emulator, UAE (amiga emulator), and maybe the NES emulator. Ben will be presenting his capstone and Linux DVD stuff the Wednesday following spring break, same time, same room. Tyler TSLUG President
[tslug] meeting postponed
Hey All, The meeting we would be having tonight will be next wednesday, same time, same place. We will be electing a new treasurer, discussing T-shirt options, speaker options, and then having a round table discussion about the future of linux and some current events, such as IBM announcing their new servers. Tyler TSLUG President

Hope to see you all there! Tyler P.S. If there is a piece of music software you use/think is particularly cool, drop me a line.
[tslug] meeting next week
All, There will not be a tslug meeting this week due to midterm break(and me not finding a speaker/preparing a presentation). There will be one next week on Thursday, October 26th at 7:30 in VH1232. Have a fun and safe midterm break! Tyler TSLUG President P.S. The webpage will be back up shortly. Ben or Caleb, please post something to the list announcing that. Thanks.
[tslug] Meeting and Yearbook photo
Hello, Just a reminder that our next meeting is thursday, Oct. 4th at 7:30pm in Vh1232, and that our yearbook photo is at 8:20 in the SUB. Don Bindner will be presenting CVS at the meeting tomorrow, so it should be a good one. Hope everyone can be there! Tyler
[tslug] meeting change and yearbook pictures
All, Our next meeting will take place at 7:30pm instead of 7:00 on October 4th, because our yearbook photo shoot is scheduled for 8:20 that same evening. This way, we can have our normal meeting, and then at 8:10 head over to the SUB to get our picture taken. Casual dress is just fine. Don, if you think you'll need more time for your presentation, we can move the meeting time back up to 7. Tyler
[tslug] meeting and more
All, There is a meeting tomorrow at 6:30pm in VH1232. The topic is the Truman network, and will include some general information about what machines do what on campus, as well as some more specific info on how to setup samba so you can fully utilize your on-campus resources. Also, we will be planning our installfest/demo day. The date I'm looking at is Saturday, September 29th. It'll be in the SUB, probably from 10 or 11 until 4. I could really use some help advertising this, so if a few people could volunteer to help with posters/chalking, that would be good. That's all I've got right now. Hope to see you all tomorrow! Tyler
[tslug] meeting reminder
Hello, Just a reminder that our last tslug meeting of the year is tomorrow(Monday) at 7:30pm in VH1220. Rahul will be presenting his capstone project, followed by the elections of next years executives. We will also be assisting with a few linux installs after the meeting. Feel free to stay and lend a hand. A few people have already volunteered to stay; thanks! I will be available to give some minimal help and answer questions; I'm still in the process of reconstructing a few final projects I lost to a hard drive mishap:( Tyler TSLUG President

[TSLUG] meeting
Hi All, The next TSLUG meeting will be the monday following this coming one, ie, February 5th. Normally, it would have been tomorrow, but I didn't get the word out like I should have, so we'll be having it next week. Don Bindner, if he's still willing(sorry I didn't get on advertising sooner), will be presenting Postscript. If anyone would like to help me out, by making and posting some posters for this meeting, please contact me. My schedule this semester is significantly busier, and I could use a little bit of help. Thanks. My phone number is 785-5646; email is probably the best way to get ahold of me, though. Tyler P.S. if you are receiving this email twice consistenly, let me know, and I'll take you off my personal tslug list.
[TSLUG] meeting on monday
All, We will be having a meeting this Monday at 7:30pm in VH1220. Please note the room change; VH1232 is being used by a class monday nights now. Also note the time change; it sounded like a little bit later worked better for people. So, if I don't hear any complaints, we'll be having meetings for the rest of the semester at 7:30pm on the 2nd and 4th Monday each month. I've been looking at Coda, and it seems pretty sweet, so I'll try and have that up and running on a few of my boxen to show at the meeting this coming Monday. Tyler El Presidente de TSLUG
[TSLUG] TSLUG meeting
All, Well, it's about time to start up TSLUG again for the semester. I was thinking about having our first meeting this coming monday. I know it's Martin Luther King day. Is this going to be a problem for people? I was thinking about having the meeting a little bit later than normal, say 7:30 or 8:00pm. Also, is monday still a good day to have meetings, or would another day/time be better? Let me know by email. Thanks. In our next meeting, I will be presenting NFS, and comparing its file sharing capabilities to Samba. If I get really ambitious, I may also present Coda. We'll see. Tyler
[TSLUG] TSLUG meeting
All, We'll be having a meeting, well, more of a social gathering, this Monday, Dec. 4th at 6:30pm in VH1224. Note the change of location: this is so we can have food. Feel free to bring a treat to share and something to drink. Hope to see you there! Tyler
