I spoke briefly to facility coordinator Tyler Dunn who asked me which Linux group I was talking about. Turns out NM Computer Society-Linux already meets there 2nd Thursdays 7:15-8:45 pm. Anyone already familiar with this group?
Nope, never heard of them until now. Thanks for looking into all of that for us, much appreciated.
Ed mentioned too that he knew of another Linux group that meets at the Bear Canyon community center. He's going to send me the name and email address of the leader. I'm not really clear on whether this is a group or a taught class, but I gathered the impression it's a group similar to nmglug. Does anybody know about this group?
Nope, that one is new to me as well.
Finally, I emailed Ed to state that I would try to gather assessments of or gage desire for actual use of the lab computers versus simpler and more available meeting/presentation/discussion/workspace, etc.--which I am hereby doing...
I would be bringing my own laptop(s) and other devices. It's doubtful that I would be using public machines much, if at all. Projectors might be nice though.
Additionally,Tyler asked if, and I think--in my state of near complete ignorance--that it might also be appropriate to gage how much overlap and interest there is in possibly coordinating meetings with either or both of the other Linux groups mentioned above. How much, if anything, does anyone know or care about the NM Computer Society-Linux and the Bear Canyon Linux group?
It would make sense to coordinate with any other groups as much as possible. "United we stand" and all that... Has anyone had any luck contacting or visiting any of the other ABQ-based groups that have been mentioned? - KR -- This email account is used for list management only.
