Sounds like the group needs an Exchange (hiss) server with Ximan Evolution to 
coordinate schedules.  Works for me at work well. ;-)  Good luck with things this year 
guys.

[tslug] Re: meeting time (fwd) & Presnetation Ideas

2002-08-28 Thread brandon chisham



I wouldn't have any trouble moving it back, but I don't have a lot of 
other activities that would cause a conflict at other days/times anyway.

Does anyone have ideas for topics or discussions? I've been doing a fair 
amount of working/reading about the following topics, and would be willing 
to put together some type of prensentation if there is interest in them.

1.) Desktop Linux for inexperienced computer users
2.) Linux Advocacy
3.) Browser Comparison
4.) Useful applications that are available for Linux and not 
Windows, SpamAssassin for example.
5.) Setting up gcc-3.1.X to support Ada. (It is included in the 
gcc-3.1.X tarball but not enabled by default).
6.) Available database applications, and the four forms of 
normalization.
Also what kind of recruitment/promotion do we want to do? Unless someone 
else wants to; I can create some example example flyers, tag lines for 
chalking etc to send to the list for comment.

Sounds good to me, when should we make the voting period?

Are we committed to Thursdays?  Maybe we should have a voting
period.  Say you have two days to submit your commitments to one
of us who can summarize the options.  Then we can pick by
consensus.  I nominate our president to perform this duty!

2002-08-28 Thread Caleb Jorden

Whenever works well for everyone else.  I am going to be trying to work on 
the web site this weekend, so that we can advertise it more.  From what 
limited conversation I have had with Don, I think we are leaning toward a 
more static web site, with the dynamic content directed more at the mailing 
list.  How does this sound to everyone?  Let me know if you have any ideas, 
or talent designing web sites.  I am not a graphic designer, I am a 
programmer.  The site will probably not be the prettiest, however I will 
strive to make it informational.

Hello All!

We need to decide on a day/time for our first meeting.  Thursdays have
worked well in the past, usually around 7pm, right?  So the question is
whether we meet this Thursday or next Thursday (the 5th of September).
Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter, but if there is pressing
business we meet earlier.  What do you guys think?

[tslug] meeting time

2002-08-28 Thread Nathaniel Green

Everyone,

It seems to me that a 7pm meeting time on Thursday evenings may cause 
inconveniences, if not true conflicts.  Would it help more than hurt to 
move it back a half, or even a whole hour?  A later time would be fine 
by me, but mine is only one voice.  What would be the most convenient 
for you?

[tslug] meeting time; also: Research Opportunity

2002-08-28 Thread Kenneth Carter

Nathaniel and tsluggers,

   Thanks for the information about possible day and time for tslug 
meetings.  I'm certainly interested, though I have a meeting already 
scheduled for Thursdays around 7 that would usually take priority because 
my role in that group (the outdoor club) is as an advisor rather than 
simply an interested member.  In any case, I appreciate being on the tslug 
list, and I look forward to opportunities to increase my conversance with 
Linux.  Please do inform me of the meeting time you choose!

On a related issue, I'm looking for one or two good programmers to join my 
research group, either for scholarship hours, as interested volunteers for 
the educational opportunity, or even possibly for some institutional 
pay.  My undergraduate research students and I are working with 
epidemiological modelling, and will soon reach the point where 
custom-written programs in a high-level language will be helpful.   C++, 
Ada, or even Pascal would do fine.  Experience with Linux would be a plus, 
as I favor the GNU GPL philosophy over that of Microsoft and would prefer 
to develop the code in the Linux environment.  The main requirements for a 
good match would be good programming skills, willingness to document and 
explain code, and an interest in helping other group members get up to 
speed.  Initial knowledge of the models themselves would not be required or 
expected--as mentor I would provide the requisite insights.  I find the 
students who are already on the research team a pleasure to work with, and 
there is opportunity to make a genuine contribution and program some 
seriously cool stochastic models.  Inquiries would be welcome!

Sincerely,
Kenneth Carter
