If you're one that follows this site or the RSS feed, but doesn't keep up with the mailing list (shame on you), there's a discussion going on about a very informal get-together sort of thing on Thursday, May 15, at 8pm, with the possibility of it becoming a regular thing. Whether or not it's a regular thing depends entirely upon whether or not people feel like coming regularly.

Penguicon is currently going on, and if you're not reading this from the computer lounge there... shame on you.

Seriously though, anyone that can make it out here ought to, Adam and I (Mike) are both here, as well as other WSULUGers occasionally coming in.

Since most of us are swamped with end of semester tasks, we won't be holding an April meeting. See here for the full announcement.

Over the last few days, wsulug.org has been ugly and has had all broken links. 'Tis now fixed. If you want more info, see here for what looks to have been the cause.

We know you were concerned. Everything's going to be fine. Return to your exams and inappropriate IRC jokes.

Due to a cancellation of the presenter, and the subsequent volunteering of yours truly, the meeting is unfortunately going to have to be moved to Thursday, March 27, at 7:30pm, in Room 299 of the Student Center. It's on the second floor, way on the North end (don't go into the hallway to the rest of the meeting rooms). We hope to see you all there, where Mike will bore you all with a presentation on Web Development and Web Sites on Linux.

After fixing a broken MX record or whatever excuse Adam gave me, we new have our @wsulug.org email working. This means that the three current officers have addresses here, and that the contact form on the website now actually works.

Aaron King of Midtown Interactive gave a really great talk for our February 2008 presentation, and you can find the slides here.

We didn't record the audio, and needless to say there was more information given than is in the slides, but these are a good start. Aaron's contact info is on the last slide if you have questions.

The room is open. It's room 71 (in the basement) of the Science And Engineering Library. It's locked when no one is there, but we're working on getting it open more and more often. Please see the mailing list for more details, and get your butt down there. It's a neat little room.

As a quick notification, we figured we'd do you all a favor and start putting the meetings of other organizations and other relevant events in the site calendar as well. Feel free to email us if there's any we missed.
