On occasion we have sponsors/presenters who feed us, which is great! But that is not the norm. In most cases you are welcome to bring your own food and there is generally a group that goes to get food after the meeting, which all are welcome to join. It just so happens that the East Side Meeting this month, Thursday the 14th, will include our traditional end of the year party. Everyone is encouraged to bring food to share. If you aren't bringing food, come anyway. There is usually plenty to go around! > 2. When and where are the meetings? Our website is currently without a calendar (blame me). However, the meetings, with directions to locations, are described in the website FAQ. Start there for info about the meetings: http://plug.phoenix.az.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=3&id=30&Itemid=25 > 3. Should I bring my laptop? If you want. The goal is to have Internet access at every meeting, which we usually accomplish. Sometimes power is more difficult than getting networked! The East Side (sometimes) and West Side (usually) are in computer lab rooms with lots of computers. So lots of times the presentation will involve everyone using one of those computers. I like to bring my laptop but don't always use it. > 4. What are the Install-Fests? http://plug.phoenix.az.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=25 People bring their computer down to get Linux installation help from group volunteers. > 5. Do I have to get on some kind of list or anything? Um... You are on this one and that is good enough! We currently have no membership lists or dues or what have you. Just participate and you are in. > 6. Can you guys provide help with technical problems? Absolutely! Check the email list archive to see past threads: http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/splash/index.html Lots of smart and helpful people around here! > 7. Should I bring anything? Food. No, really, bring what you like to the meeting that will help you get the most out of it. We also like it when people bring stuff to give away as door prizes. Sometimes what you think is junk someone else will be very happy to win. Though, nothing is required, just your willingness to learn and participate. > Thank you very much. I wanted to join a LUG, and this was the first one > that I stumbled upon. You guys have really high Google rankings... Our email list is fairly active and the online archive helps with lots of hits. We are glad you found us! > Oh, and I have a website. www.supertunaman.com > . It sucks, but some (about two) people > find it entertaining... Heh. I'll have to look around when I am not about to fall asleep! Welcome to PLUG!
