Our next meeting will be held on the third Thursday of January, the 21st, 2010.  I know this is over a month away right now but I'd like to remind everyone so they can keep their schedule's clear for that date.  As you know meetings are now quarterly instead of monthly.  With fewer of them the importance of these meetings increases, so try to think of attendance as mandatory.


Since this will be the first meeting of a new decade as well, I'd like to see it more of as an event than a typical meeting.  The last time we tried a LAN party was an utter disappointment (the details of which shall not be discussed).  However at Nerd Invasion, me, Ian, and new member Fretsejaz were able to set up a 3-man wireless gaming session of Assault Cube, so I think we can make it happen again in January.  I'll also be preparing a presentation of some sort for the meeting.  If anyone else would also like to do a presentation (possibly on a new toy they end up getting for Christmas) that'd be great as well.


Also, since Thursday is a weeknight this may pose some problems for certain members.  If the LUG would rather see a longer meeting on a Saturday, please discuss it below.



Also:  If anyone ever wishes to talk with someone from the steering committee, both me and gree_dragon37 are in the IRC channel almost every night.

That one sound like a good one for me.

Ok, So I've decided (if there is time for me) to do a talk on Remote Desktop options in Linux, I will focus mainly on ssh with X forwarding and freenx but will also show vnc.

UPDATE:

Join us in the IRC if you can.  There's usually at least 3 of us on every night.

As for the meeting we're discussing having the meeting on Saturday instead of Thursday.

I can hold off on the Wine presentation for the time being, though it'll still be available just in case.

The main concern, as mentioned in the IRC about 20 minutes ago, is lloydr, the keymaster, being available on Saturday.

Sorry to hear about the weekend crap, hope that gets sorted out for you real soon.

As for locations, I looked into getting a venue at UWF.  However, it doesn't look like we'll get one before the date of the meeting, as the CS and Engineering department is moving to a new building, and things aren't 100% finished yet.

Another possible location is the Pensacola Public Library just down the street, however they close at 8 on Thursdays and 5 on Saturday.  So, meetings would have to be on a time limit.


As of now the meeting date is slated for the original date:  Thursday January 21, 2010  at our usual location at SSI.  If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
