Despite a low attendance of two people (myself included), the meeting went over fairly well and it went an hour over schedule. V for Victory.

Relative list of events and topics discussed, in no particular order.

  • Laid out a few CDs (Kororaa, openSUSE, TheOpenCD, and Ubuntu)
  • Member introductions: Nick Mudd and Travis Nickles (me)
  • How the Student Activities department let us down.
  • Random talk about various distros (Arch, Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc.) and environments (KDE, GNOME, E17, Fluxbox)
  • Events for the future (more meetings, LAN party, and unintentionally sidetracked discussion about Revolution OS public screening)
  • Discussion on why students might not be getting involved. (not enough advertising, Sunday meetings being a barrier, students using Linux might not want to be involved in a community, possible anti-social people)
  • Linux related media (LaGER, The Linux Link Tech Show, LugRadio, LQ Radio, Tux Magazine)
  • Issues getting wifi cards working with various distros
  • Running games on Linux (native Linux games and Windows games through Wine/Cedega)
  • Talk about Windows Vista speculation
  • Richard Stallman speaking at University of Illinois at Chicago on April 28th
  • Random talk about software and hardware endeavors

There are plenty of things that I am forgetting to write.

There is no planned date for the next meeting. If you would like to help with planning the next meeting, subscribe to the mailing list and post your input. We will welcome any suggestions that you might have.
