Nick has updated the Meetup page with the location of

Cool Beans in Oradell, 304 Kinderkamack Rd .

I’d like to do a presentation on Creative Commons,

What-Ho fellow LUGers, ( and a H a P p Y N e W Y e A r )

I’m still looking for a suitable new home (sound like a
broken record) – so, to kick off the new year, this month
we’ll meet again at Cool Beans in Oradell at 7pm.

Houlihan’s
5 Rte 17 south, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ (detailed directions)

We have the private room reserved for us – The MD will direct you..

This month we’ll celebrate the season by inviting members from the other groups I organize making it an interesting and diverse gathering of various minds and interests …

If you have a computer, laptop or tablet with a problem – bring it along and we’ll help fix it. If you have video or audio equipment with a problem, bring that too and Santa will take a look …

We’ll work, talk and eat, drink* and be merry…
( detailed directions )

* If drinking, bring a designated driver or, better still, come on the bus or train – Nick will pick you up at ‘Wood Ridge’ station (eMail for details). You could also bring your private jet to Teterboro Airport as it’s nearby

If you folks wouldn’t mind, I have a presentation on Cloud computing that I’m working on that I’d like to run by folks and get some feedback. I’ll try to have it ironed out by then. Merry Christmas!

We’re still looking for a new home and trying out some
different locations – This month we’re at Panera Bread
in Paramus ( http://alturl.com/8oxq7 )

Panera Bread
165 W State Rt 4, Paramus, NJ
(201) 368-0752 ‎

Apart from talking Turkey (the Linux variety instead of
Thanksgiving) we’ll be talking over the where and when
for this year’s Christmas Bash..

Hope 2 C U there,
Nick. . .

Let me know if you’d rather not go there and I’ll keep looking.
Looked at several places (mainly restaurants) near Rt3 Clifton
but might be too noisy and we’d have to buy dinner..

Full details can be seen at http://MeetUp.com/NJLinux and, if
everyone’s cool with it, we’ll add it to our Website.

There are pros and cons to all of these that we should discuss.

Hopefully this will provide plenty of discussion for the upcoming meeting at Cool Beans in Oradell.

We are, of course, still looking for a new location, and your participation is essential. Contact us here, on the mailing lists, or in person at the meeting.

Due to the hard work of +Nickalf B and the generosity of Converge, we’ve had a great place to meet for the last nine months. Unfortunately, Converge is no longer going to be there at Kean University, so we will no longer have that space available.

This is your chance to have a real impact on the group. Where would you like to meet? Do you have a place that seems great, but figured that there was no opportunity to bring it up? This is your chance!

Take a look around, see if you can find a location that would be suitable for the LUG to meet in. Someplace centrally located, preferably with a projector and network access. See if you can talk to the people that run the place, and find out if it is suitable.

We are really depending on YOU, the membership to help in this effort st that we will have a place to meet going forward.

Thanks,
–murph

I’ve also been thinking, Software Freedom Day is approaching fast! We only have two meetings before September 17th. If everyone can put some thought to a location that we can use for a SFD demonstration, we really need to discuss and take action on this FAST!

I started to register, but did not have a location to put in yet.

The two locations that I presented a few months ago turn out to be very expensive, and the deadlines have passed already.

I hope to hear from some of you this Wednesday.

See you at the meeting.

I couldn’t possibly encapsulate the presentation in a few paragraphs, it was packed full of home server goodness. I am having trouble uploading the presentation, and I wasn’t able to open the .pptx in Libreoffice.

Updated with Tory’s slide deck. See all of you Wednesday. ZFS Based Server

See you at the meeting.

Rumor has it that Tory may be coming the the April meeting to do a presentation and I know Reg has been working on some things for us as well, as has Murph. So stay tuned for more details.

Thanks go to our member Murph for getting the conversation started with Evan. Additionally, Evan will be collecting all the obsolete and unwanted books we have collecting dust in our library and putting them to good use either at MARCH or through donations to InfoAge.

See you at the meeting.
