Passport and Upcoming Happy Hour
Passport was a big success, we got over 80 new people, some of whom may leave, but still a good start to a new semester. Welcome to all our new members, I hope to meet you all soon and hope you have fun with us this year.
The first event of the semester is this Friday August 26th. It is our first monthly happy hour. We will be meeting up at Mellow Mushroom on the corner of mill and 7th street. Everyone is welcome to come. They are under 21 friendly, and serve pizza and have a wide selection of beers on tap (including four peaks). The start time for this event is 8:00PM. It will continue as long as people are still there and until Mellow Mushroom closes. Their happy hour discount starts at 10:00PM and includes discounted appetizers and alcoholic beverages. This is a social event for everyone to meet other members in the group, so have fun and talk about whatever you want.

Loading ...Installfest
Do you want software that works the way it’s supposed to?
Are you tired of Windows crashing, or Apple software getting in your way?
Are you tired of your software assuming you’re a criminal before you’ve even opened up your browser?
…
Are you already familiar with FOSS (Free Open Source Software), but want to do more?
Then the InstallFest is for you!
We’ve taken over BAC 311, 313, and 323, and we’re planning on packing the event to the gills. Presentations, MAME box tournaments, install help, hack projects, anything and everything related to promoting and supporting FOSS.
We’re always open for presentations, at all target skill levels. Anything from beginner level material to help new users hit the ground running to the finer points of proper engineering, administration, or security management. If you’ve got something to contribute — even if it’s out of left field — we want to hear it!
Show up, try something new, hack on a project, or just mingle and meet cool people. It’s going to be a blast!

ASULUG Website redux
Hello, All!
You haven’t lost your minds, the website just got more-or-less smashed and re-done. I’m still working on designing the site, setting the theme, adding LUG users, and so forth.
Stay tuned. More cool stuff to come.
Adam
