Meetings
When do you meet?
Technical meetings are once a month, during the second week of the month. On even numbered months we meet on Tuesday and on odd numbered months, Thursdays. Meetings start at 6:00 PM. Check the main page for additional social meeting announcements. We also meet for lunch on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Galleria Mall food court at 11:30 AM, next to the Chinese restaurant. Look for the geeks.
Where do you meet?
At the University Center Rochester Heinz Center in room HC122. Need directions?.
What do I need?
An interest in Linux...that's it. We've got everyone from newbies to experts here so don't feel bad if you don't know a thing about Linux...that's what we're here for. To actually play with Linux you'll need at least a pentium (technically a 386 would work, but nobody has those kind of patience :), preferrably with a CD-ROM drive. We've got CDs and burners if you'd like your own copy too.
How do I get started?
Just attend one of our meetings or jump on the mailing list.
Do you keep meeting minutes?
Sometimes. See Minutes.
