The plan called for a planning meeting (and LTSP installfest) at Eclectic LAN (map) in Raleigh on Wednesday, February 5th, at 7pm.The first part of the meeting will be a discussion of the syllabus and when/where/how often meetings will be held. Once that's arranged, we will be installing LTSP.

We ended having a planning meeting, plus we discovered that Eclectic LAN PCs have Gibabyte Ethernet cards, not (yet) supported by LTSP. Oh, well.

Also, this page is dynamic. That is, it will change to acomodate our needs. So don't expect this to be 100% accurate... until the whole thing is over.

In the end, we only had two metings at Eclectic LAN. See next section for current meeting place.

Meeting 3.0: Configuration and Administration

Mar, 12, 2003. On IRC, By Jeremy Portzer (just the day before TriLUG's meeting)

How we got to HAHT

The originaly proposed meeting (Number 3) gets postponed, as Eclectic LAN is no more, due to very infortunate maters). A very big thank you goes to Rock Roskam for offering Eclectic LAN in the first place. Then, Jaimie Liivngstone asked and got premission to use HAHT for the meeting. Kudos for Jaimie!

At Eclectic LAN, all of us.

General introduction/planning stuff - everyone meets and agrees on a text. Conscripting of "volunteers" to lead each session.

This meeting went more or less as expected. We covered the basics, followed up by an IRC session on Feb, 12, 2003 at #trilug-rhce. Check outthe resulting log here.

Meeting 2.99: Change of venue (Mar, 05, 2003)

At IRC. By everybody

The originaly proposed meeting (Number 3) gets postponed, as Eclectic LAN is no more, due to very infortunate maters). A very big thank you goes to Rock Roskam for offering Eclectic LAN in the first place.

As a result of the discussion in the mailing list, we decide for a meeting on the IRC. The log is here.

• We let Jeremy Portzer take his terms, so no rushing him to provide the talk.
• A sizeable part of us cannot make the meetings on Saturdays, for several reasons.
• We decide on Jaimie's offer for a meeting place at HAHT (see this area). Weekday and time will be the same.
• I've voluntiered again (this is becoming an annoying tradition *grin*) to propose a new calendar and link the chat logs.
• You will review the proposed calendar, and you will discuss it on the mailing list

New Meeting Place

As the upcoming talk covers a lot of areas, we all will discuss a little on the upcoming Jeremy's talk. This way, the talk can go better and focus on our "grey areas". Please, review your installed Red Hat PCs, books, syllabus... and prepare questions and be prepared to provide answers. Remember! This is an IRC Meeting to make possible a more fluid and interesting next talk.

As a side thing, we should discuss who will give talks currently assigned to Anonymous Coward, as he has told me that he is pretty busy trolling on Slashdot. So we cannot count on him to provide all those talks. Bummer!
