Meeting Summary

Discussions/Announcements

Next Meeting: Webserver Fest

Matt Newhall reminded us about the Web Server Fest coming up next Month (August 10th meeting). Apache and Roxen will be featured.

Meeting At BNL on OpenSource/OpenScience

Matt N. also announced that Brookhaven National Lab is having an Open Source/Open Science Meeting at their site on Saturnday October 2, 1999. About a half-dozen LILUG members raised their hands when asked who might be interested in coming.

Group Business

Linux Demo Day

Rob Dumas continued an update of information he had mentioned on our mailing list concerning Barnes and Noble (Huntington store) and the mutual interest they and we have in a possible Linux Demo Day. This turns out to coincide nicely with the National Linux Demo Day concept Matt N. mentioned earlier in the meeting.

The group agreed on the following key points during Rob's presentation:

1. A weekend would be best, especially a Sunday. Rob will check to see if the Barnes and Noble store can schedule us for Sunday Sept. 12th
2. It is then conceivable that the interested customers from the demo would want help installing Linux, and we could offer that at our next meeting, just two days after the demo.
3. These topics merit further discussion for likely incorporation into the demo:
   1. Web Server(s)
   2. Office Apps (like StarOffice and WordPerfect for Linux)
   3. Samba and Windows
   4. Linux on a laptop
   5. GNOME and/or KDE
   6. Games
4. Further discussions will be had over the lilug.org mailing list.
