First off, I need to stress that this new group has no affiliation what-so-ever with the Grand Junction Computer Users Group, and also need to stress that it is for advanced hobbyists only.
Last week, I met with Joe Mason last week who is very interested in this idea of starting an Advanced Linux Users Group. The conversation and information overwhelmed me, but also inspired me on how much more I want to learn about Linux. He agreed to lead the first meeting with an introduction to Linux distros and Linux lingo, etc. Then, as a group, we can discuss how we want to proceed with future meetings. Lastly, for those attending, if you bring a laptop that you would like to have Linux installed on, we can install Linux (a choice of distros will be available) on as many as time allows. Just make sure that the laptop doesn’t have any data on it that can’t be lost.
Details for the first meeting are:
When: Thursday, April 9 from 12:00-1:30pm
Where: Main Street Bagels downtown in the back meeting room. They have wifi there, but require that we spend a minimum of $30 while using the room
Who: Advanced Linux users only, and those that want to become advanced at using Linux
If you have any questions, leave a comment here or contact Joe. He has setup an initial web site for the group that has his contact information.
good luck with the group I can’t make it .maybe i can read about it on the website
No problem Rooman…you are in Rifle aren’t you? Yes, keep an eye on the site for future meetings.
Shoot! We would have sure liked to attend this meeting, but we’ll be out of town. I’m sorry there wasn’t more advanced notice. I know some people can attend events at the drop of a hat, but some of us need more notice. How about repeating this initial meeting another time?

Honestly, Judy, I don’t think you would have liked this meeting. It is going to be ultra technical and not practical info for the everyday computer user. But what do you think about a Netbook or Ubuntu get together?
