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. See: http://www.colug.net/meetings.php3


Meeting Schedule
================

          The NEXT meeting is scheduled on Saturday, January 27, 
2001 from 13:00 to 15:00 local -- Location is presently unknown.

	Exciting advance notice: Paul Everitt of Digital
Creations ( publishers of ZOPE ) may well be speaking at our February
