I want to apologize for not sending these out sooner, I've had them typed up and forgot to send them out, and the recent meeting emails on the list reminded me. Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting earlier this month, we had a great turnout and great conversation. These are my rough notes from the meeting, and I'm sure I've missed a few things. Jeremy kicked it off and introduced our faculty sponsor, Eric gave a talk on installing Linux on a flash drive, and I helped facilitate a discussion about future meetings. Thank you to everyone who came and participated, and please feel free to share any feedback, ideas or volunteer to help with your meeting organizers: Jeremy Lizakowski - tclug at lizakowski.com Eric Peterson: srcfoo at gmail.com Paul Cutler: pcutler at foresightlinux.org -------------- next part -------------- TCLUG 5/2 Meeting Notes Kickoff by Jeremy Lizakowsi, introducing our faculty sponsor. About 45 people in attendance, great turnout for a first meeting in almost two years! Eric Peterson gave an overview loading a USB flash drive with a Linux distribution to use as bootable media, and showing how much faster a USB flash drive can be over a LiveCD. Eric volunteered to send out the howto the mailing list after the meeting. Paul Cutler facilitated a discussion about upcoming TCLUG meetings, potential content for the meetings, and a call for volunteers: * TCLUG meetings to be regular meetings each month, planning on the first Tuesday of each month (2-3 people asked if it would be possible to move to the 2nd Tuesday as they had conflicts on the first Tuesday of the month) * Active discussion around the TCLUG website, attendees expressed interest in seeing it updated with a new look and feel. Discussion about volunteers to help, and Real-time offered help as well.
