Last nights MerriLUG meeting, 15-June-2006
Fifteen people attended a relaxed June meeting. Most had dinner first at Martha's Exchange, and then headed upstairs. The nominal topic was Hardware and several people brought stuff to show. Topics ranged far and wide, from What laptop should I buy? to Bill Gates' retirement, IBM 1401s and AutoCoder, MacBookPros and upcoming events. A good time was had by all. Future meetings were a big topic. Ken D'Ambrosio announced that the July 20th meeting with a topic but no speaker: Ken hopes to present something on Asterisk. The August 17th meeting is TBA. Rob Lembree has offered to do a meeting in the fall. Maddog and several other folks had ideas for meeting topics: the folks at ICS have released a large project management system at http://www.project.net and would be inteterested in talking about it and the business case for Open Sourcing commercial software. Perhaps a panel of businessmen to discuss the various business models? Jim Kudsdrall suggested a presentation on working with OpenOffice would be worthwhile. I announced that we will be having an Organizational meeting for activists this summer -- announcement to follow). Another quarterly meeting topic: Jim Gettys presenting the MIT $100 laptop. Discussion of where and when. Lots of good topics. Thanks all for coming and contributing.

If you do have a JG presenting on the $100 laptop you might need a much larger room than normal. I've never been to any NH Lug meetings but I would definitely attend that. Lots of good topics.

Discussion last night was that we might talk with our contacts at DW College or UNH about the possibility of getting space at one of their facilities.

I remember it being well attended, but not overwhelmingly so. Certainly nothing like when Linus presented at UNH back in '94! There was standing room only in a large UNH lecture hall. People were even sitting on the steps for that one :) -- Seeya, Paul ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I was lucky enough to have attended that one and got such an artifact myself. I've recently framed it with printout of Linus's email announcing linux to the world as a backing. It is hung in a prominent place; geek art for sure. -Andrew Gaunt Cole Tuininga wrote: On Fri, 2006-06-16 at 10:24 -0400, Paul Lussier wrote: Jim came presented the iPaq a few years ago to the Nashua group for a quarterly.
