I just found out from John that he is now a resident of San Francisco and
really NOT flying all the way from Australia to be here (as much as I like
the drama of that!). Nonetheless we are all looking forward to his
presentation next Saturday.
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
Several folks on irc this evening inquired about attending this event in
LA and noticed on the web site that the sessions are sold out (
http://www.corel.com/roadshow/schedule2000.htm )
Any chance that there are still some seats available? Thanks very much.
I include a past posting from Dan. Guess we should have moved faster!
No matter it is great to see it is sold out. Con-grads.

Hi all,
I just wanted to add that on Saturday we will be giving away multiple
boxed sets of the current version of TurboLinux server, workstation and
one copy of TL Cluster server- plus lots of other "goodies" (T-shirts,
duffel bags and what not).
I have been speaking with John Terpster - he is extremely knowlegable and
really looking forward to this full day seminar. There is no doubt that it
is going to be very detailed and informative.
I would ask anyone who can to please consider bringing a video camera so
that we could tape this session. If you have such equipment please contact
me.
There are still some seats available for this FREE session (I say this
because several people inquired about the costs). Please RSVP to me if you
plan to come (there is still plenty of availability as of now). Also
please pass this information to other lists and people as you like.
Also I would ask that you RSVP on an individual basis as I can't really
take RSVP's for whole groups :) (but I certainly thank you all for showing
so much interest)
I apologize for any repetitious e-mailings about this meeting.
best regards to you all,
Ismet

So far there are 50 who have RSVP'd for this Saturday's session
(http://www.linuxatlax.org/meetings.html). I am most pleased at the
interest generated thus far.
The participants are from all over the LA basin, representing a broad
mix in the telecom, ISP, software, web admin, educational, financial,
network admin and many misc disciplines / sectors.
And of course folks from our Lug as well as several others will be
attending.
It is amazing yet predictable I guess when you get the word out to the
interested parties- they do sign up! yeah! Thank you all who have helped
in spreading the word about this seminar. With special thanks to Dan Kegel
for adding this to the Lalugs site.

That looks like a very nice press release. Kudos to Michelle Head.

April 6: Michelle's post to linuxmall:

I posted to comp.os.linux.announce on April 1st, but it hasn't appeared.
It's a moderated newsgroup, and all posts must be approved by a volunteer
moderator. Note: don't crosspost to moderated groups; the whole post
gets mailed to the moderator rather than posted.
With more than a week's lead time, we could get into non-Linux-oriented
news outlets, too.
I'm curious -- Michelle, where did you first hear about Ismet's event?

Sorry for the late notice but it has been difficult getting the
particulars nailed down. I would appreciate it if you posted this
message amongst your member mailing lists. TIA.
The short list:
o When: 2000-04-12 @ 7pm
o Where: GFS-106, University Park Campus
o What: linux running on an 850 Mhz Itanium processor
The long PR:
The USC Linux User Group is proud to host a one night exhibition
of the the Intel Itanium processor running linux. Come see the soon to
be released Intel 64-bit processor, the Itanium. After nearly 7 years
of development Intel is ready to enter the 64-bit arena with what is
most likely the most aggressive leap in processing technology in the
last ten years. On top of that everyone's favorite free operating
system is already ported to it, adding to linux' long list of
supported platforms.
The processor by itself is only exciting to you hardware junkies
out there who feel the need for speed. But linux running on top of it,
opens it up to the large realm of free software instantly. The
demonstration will highlight this and will show off some of the
processor's features to exploit things close to the University
communities heart, like floating point execution unparalleled by any
other processor except maybe the alpha.
This event is FREE and we will be giving out CDs and t-shirts as
supplies last.
Please check the USC LUG website (http://linux.usc.edu/) for more
information as it comes in.
See you there.

The LUG Fest that we held in March was a huge success and gave a hint that
any future ones would be even bigger. Unfortunately this also means alot
of work. The previous two LUG Fests, most of the work was done by me
(Gareth) and although the events turned out good and better (in the case
of the last one) it was still a lot of work. So, for the LUG Fest that is
planned for October I am inviting anyone who wishes to help out the
planning of the event to join the LUG Fest mailing list. One important
thing to remember is that although everyone's help is appreciated, to
assure thing do not get out of control I will still be the head
coordinator for the event. Thanks Everyone!
** Joining LUG Fest Mailing List **
send an email to majordomo@... with subscribe lugfest in the body of
the email. You will then be asked to authorize yourself. Then you are
set. email to the lug fest list will be sent to lugfest@....

Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
I am most pleased to announce that the next session of the Linuxatlax
(Lilax) Linux user group will take place at the headquarters of eLinux
(A division of Creative Computers, http://www.elinux.com ) located at
Creative Computers
2555 West
190th Street
Torrance, CA
90504-6002
Sat May 13th beginning at 10 am and continuing to at least 3 pm (we might
go on as needed to 5 pm) Please refer to
http://www.linuxatlax.org/meetings.html
for map links.
The meeting will take place in the spacious downstairs conference center.
There we will have comfortable seating, desks, a projection system
with white-board as well as switched high-speed Internet access (via a
drop from the main T3).
We will have several servers running various distributions of Linux for
our use. Access to the network will be via DHCP server so bring along some
extra UTP patch cables as well as any of the software or hardware you
think would be useful. (certainly extra power strips are always useful)
This session will follow an open forum (after some preliminary
administrative discussion). There will be several programmers at this
session; one who has a keen interest in the Python scripting language- and
others who are interested in discussing some new applications using
Perl. I know that others have expressed interest in getting RAID array
systems configured as well as other who have general configuration issues.
As you like participants will be given the "floor" to go up to the podium
and address the group with a spontaneous mini-tutorial or question,
problem or observation etc... on whatever computing subject you think
appropriate. During this time you are more than welcome to continue your
work in smaller groups too and if needed address the whole group with any
issues that develop.
I would also like us to consider "simul-casting" this session over our
groups IRC server (209.151.232.139, #lilax, port 6667) so that our virtual
members can also participate in the days events. This would also allow us
to capture and share the screen / command-line input during the session as
well as fielding questions/comments from members on the east coast and
elsewhere.
So please bring along your laptops, boxen, software, hardware etc... with
your ideas and let's take the time to get use to our new surroundings over
at eLinux/ Creative Computers. I am sure that we will find that the
network access will really make the sessions far more productive.
There is ample parking in front and to the side of the main building (with
hundreds of spaces!). From there you would climb up the stairs to the main
entrance. There will be a banner directing you to the elevators and the
downstairs conference center.
There are various vending machines with snacks and drinks at the center.
If you have any special requests, ideas or would like to present something
please let me know and I'll try to make it happen.
all the best,
Ismet
PS, please pass this on to any list, group or others to whom you think
this might be of interest

Okay It seems I need to clarify some details of the event im thinking
of. The event date will be the 27th of May and the location will be
Nortel Networks. The format will be as follows, there will be groups of
discussion groups on various topics setup around the room that people are
go to and talk about this particular topic. An example would be a table
for security, anyone interested in talking about security can gather
around the table and discuss security. There wont be demonstrations per
say, just talking. Again any question just ask, topic suggestions email
me personally not to a list. Thanks.

Okay I got some good ideas from everyone in regard to this event, they are
below. The date for the event is May 27th and will start around 1pm. The
format of it, is as follows. We will have tables setup around the Nortel
cafeteria, a section for each topic. People can then move thru out the
room to the various areas were the various topics will be
discussed. There will not be demonstrations there, it is just
discussions. I repeat, No demonstrations. That being said there will be
one person for each topic that will act as the organizer, not the
moderator but just someone to hang out at the table, etc. Any questions
anyone has please let me know. Thanks guys.

Okay guys, we got some good topics setup for the 27th BOF discussion event
but we still need some people to act as coordinators for the topics. I'll
get a web page setup with topics and current coordinators later today
(*screams* FINALS! WORK! SCHOOL! NO TIME!). Also i've deceided that those
people acting as coordinators will be allowed to bring machines in, but
please only those people acting as coordinators. This is not an event (eg
install) for people to bring their machines and have stuff tweaked,
installed, etc. Once again, any questions, just let me know. Thanks
guys.
