| Re: [PLUG] We need speakers for February |
+1 for intro talks. Some of us have been using Unix and now Linux for 30 or more years, but always willing to sit through an intro class to see what might have changed that we missed, or how someone presents and organizes the stuff we already know. And always nice to meet new folks. BTW, I've been busy Mondays with a new ping pong club that opened in West Chester PA, and tying to organize activities to attract more players so the club can be financially viable. Otherwise, it's not going to last long. Any players out there? Newbies and experts welcome. Some of our players had never played before a couple weeks ago, and some are ranked top 100 in the state of PA. Wide range of skills!

I'd be down to hearing about your new book, and I'm sure many others would be as well. It's been a while. Alternatively, for at least one of these meetings, we could reboot (pun intended) an intro series/talk of some sort. Even though we tend to focus on advanced topics, I got some feedback from the local community that there's not only not enough introductory Unix/Linux/open source content in talks and such (things tend to focus on branded items like Kubernetes and Docker and the various cloud stuff to say the least), but there's some demand for an "apprenticeship" (don't read into that word too much, just think of something guided at most) in Unix/Linux/open source. I could probably whip up an intro talk or demo on short notice for this month, just know that both meetings this month bookend business events I have to be at… ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
