Quarterly reminder.

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts, ALE, has multiple ways to keep in touch and meet
with your fellow ALE'ers. Below are the methods listed in order of the most
used.


ALE Communications
------------------
1) email list from ale.org - sign up here:
    http://ale.org/?page_id=5  "ALE General" 5-20 msgs/day
2) postings on http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/ for
specific meetings.
3) postings on http://ale.org/ - monthly meetings (presentation links) - Use
RSS
4) #ale on Freenode - IRC (use any IRC client or there's a web-front-end)
5) email list for Study Groups - http://ale.org/?page_id=5 "ALE Study" -
very low volume. Should pick up with KSU-IEEE sessions this fall.
6) Discussion Groups on
http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/messages/boards/ - lots
of subgroups there - very low volume.
7) Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/linuxatl/
    (this is new)


Linux Jobs
----------
If you have or are looking for a Linux job, there are 2 places:
a) email list for Jobs: http://ale.org/?page_id=5 "ALE-Jobs"
b) meetup "Job Postings" discussion:

Physical Meetings
-----------------
There are 3 different sub-groups with physical meetings.
1) ALE-Central - monthly at Decater Makers, park across the street or around
the corner in the neighborhood.
    https://plus.codes/865QQMGV+4Q

2) ALE-NW - weekly usually at Harry's Pizza, easy parking
    https://plus.codes/865QWH22+2GX

3) ALE-South - weekly usually at Oz Pizza,
   easy parking https://plus.codes/865QHC89+Q6

Visit http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/ for specifics
about these meetings. Plus.codes can be used with google maps, but the
rectangle resolution is lost. We also post What-Three-Words locations, W3W,
for some meetup events to reduce confusion over addresses.  Some
(cough) popular GPS tools are confused by some addresses.


F/LOSS Calendar
---------------
The meetup site has a iCal Calendar with F/LOSS happenings around the
region. http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/events/ - visit
this link to find the CalDAV and iCalendar links for calendaring programs to
know what's happening. Of course, you can also use a web browser.  We
attempt to keep Linux and F/LOSS related events in the calendar; primarily
ALE stuff, but related conferences and other group events too.

ALE and KSU-IEEE will be having an InstallFest in September at KSU-Marietta
to kick-off our ALE @ KSU Essential Linux Saturday sessions.
http://ale.org/if has more information.


Volunteering / Get Involved
------------------------------
ALE is 100% volunteer. We are an informal club run by people just like you
spending a little time every month to help others on their journey through
Linux. Just volunteering 1 hour a month would be very helpful.
Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level. Contact any of the organizers
on the meetup page to get involved.


Summary
-------
Please sign up for the "ALE General" email list to know what is happening or
any last minute changes to meetings. Sometimes we have to cancel a meeting
at the last minute, so if you did not RSVP, then you may not get notified.
Point your favorite RSS reader at the meetup events and calendar.

Hope to see you out at these events, if you get a chance!

Please share this info with anyone who may be interested.
