If you aren't on their list, go to their site and signup. Now that I've moved to Brigham, it's a little harder for me to come and organize etc. Since FSLC is back up and going, I'm not sure we really have as much of a need. We can keep the email server up and going. Comments? Anyone think we should keep having regular meetings or have them less often? With FSLC meeting twice a month, I'm all for just helping them out for a while. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [fslc] FSLC Meetings Schedule and Presentations Suggestions > From: Doug Johnson > Date: Tue, October 09, 2012 10:09 am > To: fslc at fslc.usu.edu > > > Hello FSLC, > > We have successfully scheduled the CS Conference room for every other thursday starting this thursday until the end of the year. > > Here is the plan: > > Every month we hold an install fest and session for general questions regarding using, installing, and troubleshooting Linux and other Free and Open Source software.

I like the idea of using the FSLC as a focal point since I think it will be easier to co-ordinate perl interests with individuals who participate w/that group.
