ALE Central Mtg. for Thurs., Feb. 21, 2008
A Couple of Notes regarding this month’s meeting:
First, a reminder that we moved our regular ALE Central meeting
dates to the THIRD Thursday of each month starting in 2008 to
better accommodate scheduling of our Emory Law School venue.
Also, due to many distractions from reviving the ALE Mailing
List and Server, we were not able to arrange a feature presentation
for this month’s meeting. Given the state of communications with
the group I didn’t want to cancel the meeting or move it to a social
venue without better notice, and instead am inviting ALE to
experiment with a more interactive meeting format. So….
The Exploratory Activities for the February 21st, 2008
ALE Central Meeting will include:
— Laudable Linux Tricks and Amazing Apps
— Baffle the Brain Trust
— Celebrating the Server and ALE Admin Volunteers
— The Emacs vs VIM Cage Match and/or Juggling Exhibition
…featuring informative presentation and entertaining participation
from everyone interested in contributing their talents.
Synopsis:
— Laudable Linux Tricks and Amazing Apps: A chance to
show and share the tools, programs, scripts or applications
that you’ve found most useful or interesting in your work
and play with GNU Linux.
— Baffle the Brain Trust: A casual forum for querying the
group’s knowledge base about any aspects of Linux that you
may be curious about. This will also provide an opportunity
to request topics for future meeting presentations.
— Celebrating the New Server and ALE Admin Volunteers:
Light refreshments will be provided to toast the revival of
ALE’s web presence and appreciate all the folks who
continually donate the time and resources that keep on
keeping us together (in a totally anarchist kind of way).
— The Emacs vs VIM Cage Match and/or Juggling Exhibition:
If things go according to plan, Charles Shapiro will be bringing
clubs. The choice of which activities they will used for will be
up to him.
Bios:
— Every GNU Guru participating in this ALE meeting will
be certifiable.
