Community News


Resources

There is a new Linux news mailing list available, this one in French. It is run by Stéfane Fermigier, who is also one of the forces behind Linux center. If you want to sign up, drop a note to nnl-request@aful.org with "subscribe" in the body.

And here is one of the first things we learned from that list: French-speaking Linux users now have their own magazine. It is called simply Linux Magazine, and its first issue has just come out.

Dave Whitinger has added "linux-news-ldp" to his collection of Linux news mailing lists. This one carries news on updates to the large and growing set of Linux HOWTO's. To sign up, drop a note to linux-news-ldp-request@threepoint.com with "subscribe" as the subject.

Web sites

Crystal Space, a free (LGPL) 3D engine written in C++, has announced a new web page.

A new e-zine dedicated to the various free BSD variants has been announced. Check out Daemon News to see how our friends in the Berkeley camp are doing.

Events

We got an announcement that the registration for the "LiMe '98 - Pluto Meeting 1998" has started. LiMe is a gathering of Linux folks in Rome, Italy; this looks like a good time.

Another event to attend: ApacheCon is the first conference around the Apache web server. It's happening October 14-16, and registration is open now.

User Group News

The Northern Colorado Linux User's Group will be having an Install Fest on Sunday, September 13th, in Fort Collins, Colorado.

A new LUG has formed in Stuttgart, Germany. If you are interested, send mail to linux@vipcom.de.

The inaugural meeting of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota (Sioux-land) Linux User's Group will be held September 8th.

If you are a GNU/Linux user in the Lexington, Kentucky area, you may want to check out the temporary home page for the Lexington Linux Users Group.
