Meeting: 7:00p -0500 Thu, 14 Jan 2010
FYI: You can VoIP in for the meeting.

[edit] Announcements (5m - 15m)

The TriLUG custom opens each meeting with introductions and announcements. Announcements concern anything pertinent to the TriLUG community. Keep 'em brief though! (Under 30 seconds is the standing suggestion.)

[edit] Sponsor: Now accepting applications (2m - 5m)

No sponsors have stepped forward for this meeting.

Typically, TriLUG sponsors will cover pizza and drinks for the group for the evening, and thoroughly explain who they are and what they do. It's an excellent way to advertise your outfit to a very intelligent, diverse, technical, interested, and captive crowd.

If you would like to sponsor this month's meeting, contact anyone on the steering committee.

[edit] "Have a Job, Need a Job" (2m - 5m)

After our sponsor has had some time up front, we give the "podium" to those who have a job and who need a job. Be brief, concise, let the group know what's up, and good luck!

[edit] Talk: A Linux-Based Arcade Console

Thomas has been working on something that is part art, part tech, and part FUN. He has an arcade game console with Linux under the hood.

Come hear Thomas tell us how he selected appropriate PC hardware, external controller boards and game inputs. He'll share his experiences putting it all together, from wood-working to soldering to software configuration. He'll show us some working parts (and some not-so-working parts), and photos of the almost complete game machine -- sorry, it's way too heavy to bring to the meeting!

[edit] Map: Where we meet

RedHat has kindly offered us a meeting room. When you walk into the building, you may be greeted by a RedHat employee at the front desk. We are in the room to your left. Welcome!

(If the google map does not display below, try this one direct from Google Maps.)
