| ABC Has excess hardware...I have a large inventory of refurbished PDS P4 3.0GHz machines with 1GB RAM and 80GB HD for $75 with 15" flat screen monitors, keyboard, mouse, cables and no OS. If someone wants one loaded with a linux distro, I'm happy to look at it -- it'd probably cost $10 for the labor. I have a large inventory of 15" flat screen monitors for $25. Many have speakers, though I can't guarantee sound. I also have of random hardware including a handful of used Dell rack-mounted servers. I should note that qualifying individuals I can include a copy of Windows XP Pro on the machines. It requires an application and is only available for folks at 280% of poverty (actually quite a bit of money - $60k for a family of 5), individuals with disabilities, schools and 501(c)(3) non-profits. I'm happy to go through this with anyone in more detail if there's interest.

| === Social: Saturday October 22nd ===
| |
| We submit for your participation a two part social on Saturday October 22nd. Flying pumpkins! We didn't get our act together to fling some pumpkins of our own, but we can watch [http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/2011PumpkinChuckinFlyer.pdf Scouts toss them]. The event starts at 8:30 am, suggest park back from the launch area, to avoid collateral damage. Dress warm, we've been warned it's exposed and windy terrain. The event is anticipated to run ~8:30-noon, if last year's timing holds true. Spectators are welcome at any time during the event. However, if you wish to hang out with your fellow K-LUGgers, here's our planned schedule
| |
| | |
| -Watch flying pumpkins starting at 9 am
| |
| | |
| -At 10 am, those who need to move for exercise, ADHD, or to stay warm are welcome to go for a hike with us. The hike will take the trail west out of the parking lot to the city/county property of the Gamehaven Reservoir Park. For those who need a goal to purpose their hike, there are several geocaches in the area. Snacks, water, and layered clothing would be appropriate.
| |
| | |
|
| |
| Meet at the Gamehaven Scout Camp parking lot, 9 or 10 am, Saturday October 22nd. 5015 Simpson Rd SE, that's next to "Stars - Fleur de lis" if you're looking at the geocaching map, http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/?ll=43.951476,-92.432907&z=15&mt=hybrid .

| === Planned Technical Meeting: November TBD ===
| |
| Traditionally we've had a swap/sale/recycling event, but this year we've had very little interest. Plus there's now other recycling options (some of them cheaper than what we have to collect for dropping off with the County). So we're looking for a speaker, volunteers please?

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
