Evenings or weekends for fun stuff.

I enjoyed both presentations and will start playing with OCFS2 soon.
How about planning the next meeting?
Jul 24, 1:00 or 6:00 PM?
Aug 14 ?
The Oracle installation was suggested as a presentation topic.
Possibly OS tuning tips. To give everyone a volunteering chance, would
someone want to talk about the database install, kernel settings, etc

<pre wrap="">In deed, for the time being, we're *mostly* an online group... :-)
I've
been happy to provide rack space for GRLUG since I became involved
about six
years ago. Before our server up and walked away (from EMU), I
maintained
our site, list and message board. After I rebuilt the box here, the
site
could definitely use some work. :-) As time permits, I'm happy to
install
whatever needed on our box for a webmin to maintain though. Dave has
our
wiki (on his box) which should work out well, but we still have our
very own
box for whateverz...
History of the LUG? I found Eric via a google (or maybe altavista -
back
then) search while I attended EMU 6 years ago. He and a fellow named
Jim
from GVSU both had their own thing going so we combined to form GRLUG.
We
own two domains " grlug.org" and "grandrapids-lug.org" which I renew
yearly
and have free DNS service from Zoneedit.com . I believe Eric filed a
non-profit status form a while ago. At least, I remember signing it.
:-)
Like Eric mentioned, we've had installfests, demo days and just plain
old
pizza days-a-plenty.
We really could use some fresh talent to reorganize our LUG. For
myself, my
schedule is very structured and with five children any (work) free
