Alert!!!! The correct date for the Next NPLUG meeting is September 19 !!

Hello all.

ARGGHH ! I screwed up! The NPLUG meeting is September 19 !! Not August
19th. I am indeed an idiot. I apologize. The full agenda for our meeting
and the network-fest at D's place follows. Please note: if you plan to
help with this project you need to RSVP me directly, don't just show up
at D's place, the won't let you in.


NEXT NPLUG MEETING

Its getting near time for the next NPLUG (Non Profit Linux Users Group)
meeting. This months topic will actually be a planning meeting for
setting up a server and fire wall at Deborah's Place,
http://www.deborahsplace.org/main.jsp?key=who a community based
organization that serves homeless and formerly homeless woman with a
broad range of programs.

Deborah's place has recently gotten their second location wired, and
they have ordered all of the necessary hardware to get a network up and
running, with our help! Their volunteer admin, Chris Reisor has decided
to use SME Server 5.5 http://www.e-smith.org/ to do file, print and mail
service. The network will sit behind an IPCOP http://ipcop.org firewall
and make a WAN/VPN connection via static IP to the Deborah's place PDC
which is running MS Small Business Server and Exchange. 

We plan to meet at Deborah's Place on Saturday September 28, 2002 to
implement this really cool and ambitious project, BUT as I mentioned, we
defiantly need to put our heads together before we go out, to make sure
we have everything we need and that we know what we're doing. Neither
Chris nor I have ever tried to implement such a robust networking
project, so expert advice and interested parties are encouraged to
attend and put in their two cents!!!

So here goes:
