<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br><br>Hello everyone,<br><br>For those of you that don't already know this-- I am the new Open Source Club president.<br><br> Hopefully
everyone has had a fantastic summer and is ready to get back to school.
Since we are only a week away from starting classes I felt it would be
best to let everyone in on what the plans are for the club.<br>
<br><b><u>MEETINGS</u></b><br> The first meeting will be held on
Thursday September 25th @ 7:00p in Dreese 266. This meeting will
consist mostly of getting to know each other so if you are able to make
it then you should do so since this meeting will be really fun. We will
also talk about what to expect in terms of meetings for AU quarter
along with a discussion about the club's project for the quarter. <br><br>
To make things as simple as possible the club will meet at the same
time/place every Thursday. So all meetings are Thursday at 7p in Dreese
266, and we will meet every week,(with the exception of finals week).
You can also check the website [<a href="http://opensource.cse.ohio-state.edu/" target="_blank">opensource.cse.ohio-state.edu</a><div dir="ltr">]
to see when we are having meetings, and what we plan to do at the
meetings. Anyone can attend these meetings, including non-members. I'm
hoping to line up presentations for every meeting, so if you have
something you think you want to present then let me know. I already
have a relatively good idea of what presentations will be given for AU
quarter, however nothing is set in stone yet so changes can be made. <br>
<br><u><b><br>EVENTS<br></b></u> The involvement fair will be on
September 22nd and the club will have a table set up there so that we
can recruit some new members. <br><br> The club is also looking
into going to the Ohio Linux Fest on Oct 11th. Make sure you register
asap if you would like to go. We are also looking into helping out with
registration and stuff at the OLF so if you don't mind volunteering
then let me know. We are in the process of trying to get a table at the
OLF, so if we are successful then we will definitely need people to
help work it.<br>
<br><br><br><br>Hopefully this information is helpful to you and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you at the club meetings. <br><br><br clear="all"> -- Aaron Joseph</div>
