K-LUG - Linux Users Group.

LUG News

Technical Meeting: Thursday May 10th

UCR main campus, East Hall, room 102

Robert Nix (and Pat ___?) on running Linux on a different hardware platform. They will be showing us zVM, then doing a network install of SuSE.

Our meeting cannot be held at the normal RCTC location, due to asbestos removal closing down the whole building. We'll be on the UCR main campus, which is south and east of the Heintz Center building. See directions to UCR, the general campus building layout, and the floor plan of East Hall.

Planned Lunch: Thursday May 17th

11:30 am, at the Apache Mall food court. Look for geeks sort of near Barnes&Noble. If the weather is nice, people from downtown may choose to walk together to lunch, it's a 30 minute walk.

Planned Social: May, TBD

Suggestions welcome. Ideas can be new, or selected from the Social Meetings page.

Planned Technical Meeting: Tuesday June 12th

Watch for coming location

-=== Logo Contest:  Deciding on a printer and products ===
-[[LogoPage]] The winning logo is Anon #1's green state shaped logo.  We need you to look into finding printing locations, prices, and products available to print on.  So far we have information on the following:
--local print shop such as Superior Screeners. Probably would require bulk order.  More details needed, someone please do some research.
--Printfection, bulk discount information available [http://www.printfection.com/customer/custom.php?tab=3 here].  This was the source of the blue K-LUG shirt Tim brought to the Second Life March meeting.
--www.cafepress.com. Probably slightly more expensive, but would not require a bulk order.  We've been warned they won't look great.  For items that can be printed on, see [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/ Cafe Press].  Tim has already done some research, see the following pages:  [http://www.cafepress.com/k_lug 1] , [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/help_bulkpricing.aspx 2].
--Robert Nix has a source for weaving the logo into items such as afghans, pillows, tote bags.  70 x 54 inch woven blankets of the logo for $70 each.
--Nametags??
--Other products or sources you've done some research on?
