SUNDAYS from 3pm to 6pm US\Eastern
LOCATION: Online at https://meet.jit.si/ALE-Sunday
ALE Sunday Meetings are not about presentations. We try to help individuals with specific issues. With this online meeting service people can break-off to work in their own rooms as needed.
We are sad to share that our friend Brian Thomas has passed.
Brian was a System Engineer at Lexis Nexis and had a distinguished career in Information Technology. (LinkedIn Profile).
Brian has been a leader in the Atlanta Linux Enthusiast (ALE) user group for many years. ALE has met consistently every Sunday for over a decade, from Harry’s Pizza, to Schlotzsky’s, to on-line meetings during and after the pandemic. Brian was the Meetup organizer; he would give presentations on new things he found interesting and share his sysadmin knowledge with anyone that asked.
Outside Linux, Brian kept bees, enjoyed his motorcycle and fishing. In discussions of tv and movies he was source of fun trivia. Brian also volunteered at the night shift at Must Ministries night shelter.
Please join us in celebrating the life and memory of Brian Thomas.
Brian Thomas Obituary and Memorial Details Friends of Brian are invited to leave memories on the memorial page.

July 30 starting around 4pm
Bring something to grill and the family (kids very welcome). I’ll (JimK) be making some sides. Adult beverages with responsibility are certainly welcome. Note the preponderance of “beer snobs” in ALE these days – so that Bud Light you were thinking about bringing will go home with you afterwards.
Note: my house is also inhabited by 4 cats. If you have allergies, you’ve been warned.
Email Jim Kinney off list for the address.
Things are moving along on this. I (Jim Kinney) became the official organizer of the GA-400 site about a week ago. The folks at Meetup.com have been very helpful in the transition.
Some stuff that’s needed is a new banner. The old ALE banner is looking dated. Maybe it’s time to generate a new one – 960x160px. Got an offer to help from Jason (THANKS!!) so between the two of us we may have some to look in a a short time.
JD has been a huge help in wrangling/hijacking helping make this merger happen :-)Â Ever few days now I get a phone call or email from a new person looking at ALE because of the GA 400 group pointing them our way.
As soon as we figure out how, we will setup some sub groups to accommodate the growing distance between meeting – central, top-end, NW and now Southside. YAY!
Due to schedule demands on the moderator and some red tape delays in securing a meeting room the August 7th, 2008 ALE Northeast meeting has been canceled.
Our apologies for any inconvenience, but we do expect to resume the regular First Thursday schedule of ALE Northeast meetings beginning with September 4th, 2008.
