Anybody else?  Scheduling is pretty crazy for all of us...  So a tangent
question - does anyone know of a good many-to-many videoconferencing /
desktop sharing process in Linux?

Maybe we could have the occasional online session.  Would that be worth
investigating?

I would like to get together. On-topic talks are better (in my
opinion) than open social.

  I agree.  I would prefer to not do Fridays, because the chances are I 
will miss quite a few then.  I frequently go out of town on the weekends.

I also agree - something on-topic would be awesome.

I don't care what day really, so someone name a day/time,
and if I'm available, I'll be there.  Re frequency, once
a month is about all we can probably do - I mean, we've 
not really done too well even with that, right?  ;-)

I've already reserved a room for Friday and Saturday nights, and I 
could perhaps be convinced to stay another night (or go a day early)
depending on circumstances.   Anyone else planning to go?

I'm thinking about going, but was hoping to see some sort of schedule 
before signing up...  I'm beginning to wonder if they have a shortage of 
presenters, and don't want to publish the schedule with all the blanks 
not filled in...

Nope, that's not it - it's in fact just the opposite.  They always 
have more submitted proposals than they have speaker slots, and 
this year is no exception.

So I think if we register a UA organization for the LUG I can get some
access to meeting rooms et c. for a nominal rate.  Maybe $20 per meeting,
with some restrictions on food that can be brought.

Does anyone have opinions on this?

Room information is at
http://www.ferguson.ua.edu/facGuidelines.cfm

Aramark has an exclusive contract on food services.  I don't yet know how
much this would impact bringing in food or drink.  The restaurants in the
center and their hours are
http://www.ferguson.ua.edu/foodServices.cfm
If we did a 6:30 start then the options would be
Topio's pizza
Stwrbuck's
I believe some grab and go stuff is in there, as well as chips etc
Chick-Fil-A

We may be able to bring in small amounts of food.  They may only care about
catering-scale food.  I'm sure organizations bring in pizza or some such.
 Organizationally-brought-in food under $35 can apparently be brought in if
it's snacks:
http://ferguson.ua.edu/snackPolicy.cfm

I don't yet know about their AV setup.  I suspect if we wanted we could
bring a projector or something if the room has a screen.

If I charter out a student org, then I'll need a name.  It's probably not
appropriate to steal Tuxaloosa - UALUG is lame.  Linux Association for the
Rolling Tide (LART) may work.  Any other ideas?

I like LART ;-) but Tuxaloosa is okay to use, as far as I'm concerned.

I think that greater integration into the university's system would
bring us, and by proxy *nix, closer to those people who are actively
seeking to increase their personal technical knowledge-base. It would
also bring more clout to the university's CS Dept; it's hard to find a
major university these days that doesn't have some sort of LUG
activity. This has win written all over it.

I could deal with Starbucks and Pizza.  Sounds like a good plan to me.
Maybe it will help attract some of the Linux users that I know have to 
be lurking among the student population.

Always thought it was a good idea. It might be somewhat in competition
with the existing ACM student group, but ACM is already full of a
bunch of Linux junkies anyway.

I know that Papa John's is the official pizza ordering place that can
charge to a UA account. I also know that the Hackberry location can go
asshat on you sometimes, but they may not let an organization deliver
pizza to the Ferg anyway. There's not going to be anything stopping
individuals from bringing in food.

Some of those rooms upstairs have screens (and are meant for
presentations), so does the ballroom and the big dining room on the
main floor of the Ferg.

BLUG? :P

As well, if you want to try to garner any support from the CS
Department or ACM I know who to go to. Not sure if there needs to be a
sponsor of some sort, but it might be hard to find a professor in CS
willing to do that.

Subject: [Tuxaloosa] OpenOffice replaced with LibreOffice on SUSE
Message-ID: <4D8746AA.9080106@ua.edu>

Interesting...
Over the weekend, Novell quietly released an update for SUSE Linux 
Enterprise Desktop 11.1 that replaced their build of OpenOffice with 
their build of LibreOffice.  I expected it in 11.2 or 12, but that is 
pretty gutsy to roll it out unannounced in your regular patch cycle to 
you enterprise desktop product.  Doesn't bother me (I think it is a good 
move, and I'm glad they aren't afraid to actually push a major change 
like the Redhat guys are), but I'm sure some of the uptight corporate 
change control nazis (who are their main customer base for SLED) will 
flip out over it...
Another poke in the eye to Oracle is a good thing, in my opinion.
