We are having an organizational meeting Sun. Jan
21, 2001, 1pm, at SRA to discuss the when where etc. of the cert group. Is this
correct?
Now for a short rant;
I originally sought out this group, back when it
was SLUG the Scott Airforce Base Linux Users Group, to learn more about the
operating system from my peers. I envisioned a dark room with at least one box
running Linux and several red eyed, caffeine crazed humans looking over the
shoulder of a similar human at the keyboard performing some small dazzling
miracle. That being said, I am opposed to a formal structure in
OUR lug. A mission statement, maybe. A formal board, no
way. I believe, having been to a few meetings, that volunteerism is not lacking.
We have a diverse interest base and should not want for things to learn about or
demonstrations to view. I do think each meeting should end with a discussion of
what the next meeting will bring. There are so many topics with more each
day
ext2 vs reiserFS
Gnome vs KDE vs.........
new support and structures within the 2.4.X
kernel
filesytem structure
command line power - awk, grep, sed,
dmesg
command line configuration vs GUI
configuration
the History and future of Linux
and dare I say it Linux programming while consuming
Tequila or other grog
security issues
networking issues
server vs workstation configuration and kernel
modules
We have barely touched these. I have enrolled in
CIS299 A guide to UNIX using LINUX at SWIC this spring and would be happy to
share what I learn as I go. Reading through the text, I will be bored for a
while but you never know. I have talked to several people who want to see the
cert group come to fruition and these meetings will probably be the only ones
that they attend.
How about - "To learn Linux, to teach Linux and to
advocate Linux"
Sorry about the rant, just my $.02
