Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 08:43:01 -0500 From: colugx@stones.wcbe.org To: lwn@lwn.net Subject: Announcement - COLUG meeting notice Followup-to: colugx@colug.net MEETING NOTICE ============== Central Ohio Linux Users Group Saturday, December 30th., 13:00 to 15:00 local Meeting Presentation ==================== Last meeting of the Millenium The main presentation: -- Meta Shell Scripting Musings Our own Phil Hunter will present a philospohical overview on 'better practices', 'basic principles', and 'favorite primitives and constructs' of shell scripting. Review Chapter 9 at http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/unix_course/intro-1.html for some flesh to go with these tasty tidbits. We'll be 'eating a HIPO', and 'baking oatmeal cookies' in the presentation. See: http://www.vicksburg.com/~computer/Jan21.Program.html#Tools And then -- Upgrades demo Additionally, the host 'www.colug.net' which provides the group's webpages will be upgraded from RH 6.0 to RH 7.0 at the meeting. This should be interesting, for the MySQL and GD packages are rather customized, and we can anticipate breaking part of the site. Fixing it will be fun. Bring any spare pair of 64M DIMM sticks to donate -- the server has only 32M total presently. Goodies Jim Prior has a whole bag of swag -- we'll write a shuffle CGI routine as part of the main presentation to divvy the loot. Stump the Chump^h^h^h^h^hExpert Always popular --- bring in that problem box, and it will probably go home fixed. As always, and given the informal nature of the group's `management' and the vaguries of the presenters' schedules, the agenda and content are subject to change. Additionally, the _formal_ meeting ends at the stated time. We've noticed that folks continue to stand around in the parking lot for _hours_. We should probably adjourn to a local watering hole, to slake thirst and sit down. MEETING SITE: ============= This month's meeting will be held a local hotel just north of the former meeting site. We are being sponsored in November and December by Collective Technologies (http://colltech.com/). The meeting will be held at the Clarion Inn -- 7007 North High Street, Worthington, OH -- Link of the web page. ... The group has met on the LAST Wednesday or LAST Saturday of a month, alternating by month to allow more folks to mesh their schedules with COLUG's. Sites and dates also depend on facility availabity, with common-sense relocation in the holiday season. The webpage always has a link to a map to the upcoming meeting site.
