Announcements


Resources

A new mailing list for tech writers working on open source projects has been announced.

Are you a Gimp artist who would like a place to showcase your work? Or do you know such a person? Michael Hammel at TheGimp.com is looking for nominations for the "Artist of the Month." Here is a good chance to show off a bit; check out the requirements and send in the info if you're interested.

Events

An installfest in Kingston, Ontario, Canada has been scheduled for June 5. See the announcement for details.

Also on June 5 will be an installfest in Tübingen, Germany. Once again, see the announcement (in German) for more information.

For a retrospective on the South African Computer Faire '99, and the presence Linux had there, see The Linux Professional Association's site. This event was "the first time that Linux made a significant showing at any trade show in South Africa."

Stephen Adler has put up a detailed writeup of Donald Becker's talk to the New York LUG on May 19.

Web sites

Gary gives up. The content of the Gary's encyclopedia site is being released into the public domain. Evidently the maintainer is unable to continue maintaining the site given the level of traffic that it has received.

User Group News

The Southern Tier of New York LUG has announced a mailing list for its members.

A Linux user is interested in setting up an Oahu LUG. Check out his note if you are interested in signing up.
