Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts

Promoting Linux and Open Source Software Freedom in Atlanta Since 1994

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (ALE) is a diverse group of friendly people who enjoy the freedoms and benefits of GNU Linux Computing and Free Liberating Open Source Software technologies. From novices to network administrators, from smart phones to data centers, we strive to empower every information technology user with freely distributable software and to improve every computing environment with the superior security, functionality and flexibility of Open Source Operating System solutions. -- more about ALE --

For information about upcoming weekly and monthly meetings, please check the ALE Meetup Group Calendar. We do not, and never will, require anyone to sign up with Meetup (or any other service) to attend any of our meetings; we only use it as an additional platform to connect with others in the local Atlanta area who are also interested in Linux.

Filed at 8:30 pm January 1, 2018 under by Mark

ALE NW Weekly Linux sessions are moving in January 2018 to Schlotzsky’s near Windy Hill and Powers Ferry.  Specifically, 3000 Windy Hill Rd., Ste.A-10,  Marietta, GA 30067. Same day and time, Sundays from 3pm-6pm.

The next ALE NW meeting will be January 7th 2018.  The Schlotzsky’s manager has graciously agreed to provide per-arranged table setup, good wifi, plenty of power and food discounts. I’m excited about our new venue and a new host that welcomes our business.

I hope you will join us in the New Year at our New Meetup location with New menu choices and New insights into Linux. Schlotzsky’s on Windy Hill, Sundays 3pm-6pm.

The ALE Meetup site has the new location information at https://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/events/

ale server status

Filed at 5:31 pm October 15, 2017 under by jkinney

It seems the IP address block I got from Comcast has been a problem one that is listed in spamhous.

So…..

if your not getting ALE mail it’s because the ALE mail server is being blacklisted by IP address. I’ve put in the request that this is a clean machine but that will take time to rattle through the interwebs,

*$^!#)* spammers!

ALE (mostly) Back UP

Filed at 3:56 pm October 7, 2017 under by jkinney

The migration is mostly working. The mailman list server is still being a monster, though.

The mail ALE list is up. The ale-jobs and ale-study are still being tested.

I have a prior engagement out of town and have to stop swearing at mailman now.

Really now. Missed the ride. Gotta go drive somewhere.
