Along these lines I'd really like to upgrade drupal to the latest version. It's VERY old 4.6 I think.

6.x is out now and we really should be on it. I've SCP'd the DB from the server and tried upgrading it at home only to find it fails.

B/C it's old and the user who come around are few and far between I'd like to install a new shiny version and let folks re-register. Clean up would be a hassle.

Any thoughts on this? The site would be down over a weekend maybe as I rebuild it.

So, I posted a thread on the TLUG Group asking if anybody still visited www.lugot.org and got several responses. One of particular interest to me.

It was suggested that we maybe get our LUG on DIMDIM and maybe throw in some Asterisk for good measure.

Sounds good to me and a few others chimed in as well. So, I'm disconnected by way of Thomasville and I can help organize data but I'm not much use for hands on.

Anybody got any hardware to donate? Can somebody post the specs required?

This is a full participation meeting which means everyone contributes something to the topic. Whether you are a newbie or a season vet, come with something you find useful to your favorite flavor of Linux.

I'll be teaching you the bare basics of computing and Linux. This will be a 2 part class. The next part will follow-up in October. Please bring all your questions, and I'll do my best to explain Linux and how it relates to other operating systems.

Our primary speaker, Justin, has classes on Tuesday evenings from September through December. After much discussion at this months meeting we determined that Friday would be the best day for our temporary rescheduling of the meeting. To free up as much of Friday as possible for other pursuits, we moved the meeting time up to 5:30. We will meet at our regularly scheduled date in August. As was previously stated, this goes into effect for Sept through Dec. In January we will move back to the first Tuesday of the month.

What a great meeting with a lot of participation from everyone! Wonderful job, Brian. I will bring this up in another thread, but we are going to have to change our meeting time and date through December to the first Friday at 5:30. Justin, our primary speaker has classes on Tuesdays. After polling the people in attendance at the meeting, we determined that Friday would be the best temporary meeting date. Since so many people wanted Friday evening free, we moved the time forward so as to free up as much of the evening for other pursuits. We will return to our normal schedule in January. We looked at the results of the poll, also.

No offense is intended with the story title but it seemed fitting giving the topic of this story. Anyway, stumbled across references to the Gutsy Geeks on DesktopLinux.com Seemed fitting that we as a group reference other worthy causes who champion our own beliefs/causes and or hobbies.  So with that in mind have a look download a show. Til next time.
