The next meeting of gnhlug will be on January 29th, 1997 at Room 301, Morse Hall on the University of New Hampshire's Durham campus. Thanks to Rob Anderson for getting the room. The topics will be: I. Raffling off a copy of Applixware for Linux (Intel) Red Hat has graciously given out a copy of Applixware (see http://www.redhat.com/products/apx.html) for raffling off. This is worth $79.95 for students (approximately 16 pitchers of beer) and $495.00 for others (approximately 100 pitchers of beer....wait, I have to stop and think about that for a moment....) II. Planning for the Install Fest (March 1st) Rob Anderson and I are drumming up interest for an "Install Fest" on March 1st at UNH. We would be installing Red Hat V4.1 on people's systems. We need to know how many people are interested, what types of installation media they have (CD-ROMS, Network based, etc.), what they are running now, and other items. III. Planning for future meetings One of the reasons we don't have a REAL topic is that maddog ran out of time, but another reason is that he ran out of ideas for meetings too. Some ideas that have been suggested are: o PGP (theory, practice, signing and legislative) o Cyborgs and Linux (ask the MIT Cyborg people to come up and talk to us about it) o prm packaging from Red Hat (what it can do, and how to do it) but these all were brainstormed by Rob and I today, and we need more input from people as to what they would like to have in future meetings. IV. PCTV's Linux Show As you know, I have been working with PCTV to do four shows on UNIX and Linux. Some people have complained that they could not see the shows due to their cable companies not carrying it. I have a copy of the Linux show on video tape, and we could show it at the end of the meeting, provided Rob can get a TV (he thinks he can, he thinks he can). V. Retire to libations (as normal) I am planning another meeting in mid-february, and will send out a date and topic announcement once I get the room confirmed. It may be at the Concord New Hampshire Technical Institute, which would attract some more people for the installation fest and some new members. Last night Bruce Dawson presented a session about Linux at Dartmouth University in Hanover, NH. We seem to have attracted a few more people to our list from that also. The directions to the meeting room are below. I hope to see you there. Warmest regards, maddog P.S. No, there will be no "absentee entries" for the Applixware drawing. ==========================Directions to meeting================================ Non-Richly-Formatted Directions to Morse Hall: Proceed to University of New Hampshire, on Rt. 155A in Durham, New Hampshire Coming in from Route 4 you will be entering the town from the west..
