CedarLUG Meeting Sept. 26

CedarLUG Meeting Monday, Sept. 26th 322 ITT, 3:06 p.m.

CedarLUG is the Cedar Valley Linux Users Group A UNI Student Organization http://www.cedarlug.org on freenode irc: #cedarlug

The meeting will be very informal (they always are). Students, faculty, staff and community members wanting to know more about GNU/Linux use on campus or more about GNU/Linux in general are always welcome.

The meeting topic will be “CedarLUG Tunes.” In this context “tunes” is a verb, as in “bring in stuff and we'll help you tune it.”

In this meeting CedarLUG members will help with tasks such as:

  • Getting Ubuntu to work with Windows host under VirtualBox
  • Getting the WiFi-UNI wireless working with your adapter.
  • Getting Ada/Python/Ruby/PHP plumbed up for your class
  • … any topic related to getting this working with Linux.

Plan on bringing in your gear for this meeting!

Contact gray@cs.uni.edu with questions, or sign up for the mailing list cedarlug@cedarlug.org.

Did you get a gTablet too?

It seems like this is now an official trend around the campus here at UNI. Read How to update your gTablet to understand the process of dealing with different ROMs on your new Android Tablet.

Things I couldn't find in Google

Every once in a while, search engines come up short when you need them to come through for you in a big way. It's times like these when you waste more time searching for answers than had you just delved into the code and fixed the crux of the issue yourself. This page on "Things Google Won't (or didn't) Find For Me" was set up as a place to put things that eluded my favorite search engine.

Ironically, Yahoo crawled this page almost immediately after I created it.

Who we are

The Cedar Valley Linux Users Group (CedarLUG) serves the Cedar Valley region in Iowa from the University of Northern Iowa campus.

The group consists of both college students and community members that hold a common interest in the GNU/Linux operating system.
