Autumn quarter is fast approaching and that means it is time for the OpenSource Club meetings to start back up. Our first meeting of the new school year will on on Thursday September 24th at 7 PM in *Dreese Labs room 266*. We have a few administrative duties to take care of as loose ends from last year, such as voting on the drafted amendments to our club constitution, but the main focus of the inaugural meeting will be to discuss the plans for the up and coming school year. We have club projects, outside speakers, and interesting talks from members themselves lined up so I encourage all who are interested to come to this meeting in order to get a glimpse of what is planned for this quarter! -- Alek Rollyson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[9/24/2009] Message-ID: <7279d5080909232116j5f2d9670xfce03705b3e46af9@mail.gmail.com> Hello All! This is just a reminder that we have a meeting tomorrow, Thursday September 24th at 7 PM in *Dreese Labs room 266*. We have a few administrative duties to take care of as loose ends from last year, such as voting on the drafted amendments to our club constitution, but the main focus of the inaugural meeting will be to discuss the plans for the up and coming school year. We have club projects, outside speakers, and interesting talks from members themselves lined up so I encourage all who are interested to come to this meeting in order to get a glimpse of what is planned for this quarter. Past talks have included everything from becoming a ninja in bash scripting, Xbox 360 hardware hacking, Wifi hacking, virtualization, java robotics, and many, many more. Hope to see you there! -- Alek Rollyson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will be giving an introduction to Linux and an overview of a good chunk of the Linux distributions that one has to choose from. We will go over all the pros, cons, features, strengths, setup nuances, requirements, and finally how to pick the perfect distro for your needs. After the overview we will then run through a graphical install of Ubuntu and then a text based install of Debian in order to both show the differences between the distributions and how text and graphical installs differ. Our meeting will be on Thursday October 1st in Dreese Labs room 266 and, as always, the meeting is open to everyone. We especially welcome newcomers to this meeting so we can introduce you to the world of Linux and how to get started! Bring any questions you have and we will be happy to answer. Hope to see you all there! -- Alek Rollyson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
