PRESENTATION(S) AND/OR DISCUSSION(S)

   General Discussion -

     Meetings are open to new people who just want to come and drink some
     coffee with fellow local Linux geeks. The meetings are honestly more
     of a sitting around and talking shop and not typically organized or
     lead by anyone. If new people show up, we will do introductions.

     Typically meetings break up into a few discussions and people talk
     about different topics related to Linux. If you're interested in
     presenting something to the group, we're more than willing to have
     your speak about your question/topic/etc.

   Geek Technical Support -

     As usual, you are encouraged to bring your laptop/pc and if you
     have a problem or would like someone to assist you with trouble-
     shooting, we're always open to lending a helping hand.

   Anything goes -

     Bring your questions and curiosity...
     we're all open to helping and answering the best we can.


PDXLUG MEDIA LIBRARY

     As usual, we will be continuing our project with the PDXLUG
     virtual library (http://library.pdxlug.org), and if you've already
     used it, the meeting is a good chance to get your books you
     reserved, and hand out books you're lending.

     *** Remember to bring back your books that you checked out of the
     PDXLUG Library, and bring any books that someone has asked to
     borrow!

     FYI, as of this morning we have around 180 books from about 45 users
     and growing. (SIGN UP TODAY!)

     If you have books that other members wish to borrow, please look
     at your list of books that others have requested:

       - http://library.pdxlug.org/borrow.php?op=owner_reserved

     You can look at the books that you have requested to borrow from
     other members here:

     If you are not a member and wish to join, please send an email to me
     ( at [email protected] ) and I will add you to the library or

       visit: http://library.pdxlug.org/

INTERNET/NETWORK INFO:

     Fireside Lodge has wired internet access and a Wireless AP
     and you can come with your wireless card and usually connect to the
     network with it. If you don't have a wireless card, you can always
     stretch a 6 foot cat5 cable to their plugs.

     As usual, the meetings are very informal.  Don't expect it to be a
     lecture-type gathering with speakers and such.  Just come and have
     some fun!
