[Charlug] Tuesday night meeting?

[Leam Hall]

Can't do weeknights, seldom can do Saturdays. Forums get less of my time 
than e-mail.

On the other hand I see lots of stuff that can be done and needs doing; 
just lacking willing hands and time.

1. The Charlotte Python group seems run by Dinesh the recruiter and some 
porn stuff.

2. RHCE salaries are better than non-RHCE salaries, how many folks are 
serious about earning one?

3. Debian and *buntu are going strong and the latter has serious desktop 
value for non-nerds. How much is CharLUG spreading the word?

4. SQLite, Subversion, and maybe other really successful applications 
have authors or core developers in the local area (yeah Richard and 
Michael, I'm looking at you); how much are we capitalizing on that?

5. Off and on folks have done stuff with old hardware. Now that the 
economy has tanked and old stuff can be more useful, what is happening 
in that space?

6. Here's a great site, or three. Okay, four...

7. How much change hath BarCamp Charlotte made? It was a great event but 
have the ripples ceased or become waves of positive?


Linux provides either a dwaddling place for the esoteric elitist or a 
tool to amplify personal capabilities. Your choice. :)

My personal plan is simple; feed, clothe, and shelter my family. I've 
been doing that via Linux for nearly a decade and through techno-geekery 
for over a quarter century. In 2009 I am going to use Fedora and CentOS 
to get my RHCE skills current and pass the test. I am further going to 
encourage the "inner geek" in others via my writing on 
http://linuxsystemadministrator.com/ and whatever other venues I can find.

What are you folks doing with Linux?
