[PLUG] Fwd: PACS Meeting Saturday

[Darxus@ChaosReigns.com]

I am very sorry I did not forward this to the list in time for this
meeting.  Life's been a bit hectic.  But the fact that this SIG (Special
Interest Group) has started is still relavant enough to send, I think.

There is Philadelphia Area Computer Society (PACS).  I am not fully
aware of its relationship to PLUG - I hope that Chris Fearnley will be
able to fill in some information.

The best information I have available to me is Chris's PACS Databus
articles: http://www.cjfearnley.com/databus/97cfearnl.jan.txt

CJF was the leader of the PACS UNIX SIG until January of 1997 - 1 year
after he (and others?) formed PLUG.

As soon as I discovered the existance of PACS, I added a link on the
PLUG website, and emailed the maintainer of the PACS website (several
times, I think) to request a link from them.  This was some time ago.
I never got a responce.  I still can't find a link on their site to PLUG.
(Their site search is currently broken - checked google searches
'site:www.pacsnet.org plug' and 'site:www.pacsnet.org linux')

I've been meaning to attend one of their meetings for quite some time, but
that is yet another thing I have not gotten to.

I would love to hear more about PACS from anyone who may have attended
meetings.  I'd also like to better understand the following: "A one-time
pass is available at the Membership Services desk...".

Their website (which was somehow omitted from the attached email) is
http://www.pacsnet.org.

Hello Darxus

My name is Dean Hedin and I am part of the Linux group at PACS.
(Philadelphia Area Computer Society).

Joe Oakes and myself are attempting to "Jump Start" the Linux
portion of PACS.  

I would like cordially invite yourself and any members of PLUG
to join us this Saturday @ 9AM.  If you (or any PLUG members) would like
to come and talk on a specific topic that would greatly be appreciated.

On the tech side, We are going to do an install on a new dual Pentium 
board and attempt to set up a software RAID array.

In addition, we will be discussing Linux notebook installation issues.

As a bonus, we will be giving away free CD sets of either Redhat 7.1 or
Mandrake 8.0 to all linux attendees.

I have attached the general PAC agenda.  The main event 
will be an Intel representative to discuss Intel's Roadmap.

PACs is held at the Upper Moreland Middle School, (Located on
Orangemans Rd.  between County Line Rd. and Byberry Rd.
Just outside of Hatboro, PA
