[ale] ALE Quarterly (or so) Reminder

[DJ-Pfulio]

Just a little 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.

Please share this info with anyone who may be interested.

ALE Communications
------------------
1) email list from ale.org - sign up here:
    http://ale.org/?page_id=5
"ALE General" this is the most important communication method we use.
2) postings on http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/ for
specific meetings.
3) postings on http://ale.org/ - monthly meetings (presentation links)
4) #ale on Freenode - IRC (use any IRC client or there's a
web-front-end) 4 connected accounts right now.
5) email list for Study Groups - http://ale.org/?page_id=5 "ALE Study" -
very low volume.
6) Discussion Groups on
http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/messages/boards/ -
lots of subgroups there - very low volume.


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:
http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/messages/boards/forum/11057922
I haven't heard if this is working again since last fall.


Physical Meetings
-----------------
There are 3 different sub-groups with physical meetings.
1) ALE-Central - monthly at Decatur Makers
   Directions with a map: http://ale.org/?page_id=2

2) ALE-NW - weekly usually at Schlotzsky's on Windy Hill Rd,
    easy parking
    https://plus.codes/865QWG3M+R93 (no longer at SPSU)

3) ALE-South - weekly usually at Oz Pizza, easy parking
   5 West Broad St · Fairburn, GA

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) GPS tools are confused by
some addresses where we meet.


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.


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 or move 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!
