The March meeting topic - you!  Yep, this meeting will be all about you, in a low-preparation way.
--
The topic for mini-presentations:  If you knew then what you know now, what if anything would you do differently for:
a) hardware choices
b) programming languages
c) software investments
d) job choice
e) where to invest your computer/tech-related volunteer time
f) anything else computer/tech related that you feel up to passing judgment on (if you have topics to suggest people brainstorm on, please send those to the list)
--
So please attend, and be prepared to offer some opinions.  No Powerpoint required.
As extra encouragement to attend, and for those of you who are PCIG members to be present for voting, don't forget that our annual March meeting is also a celebration of Pi day!
And PCIG officer nominations and elections.

We can use presentations for upcoming meetings, please see a list of ideas if you're willing but lacking a topic.


LUG News

We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.

Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months? We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!
