The Greater London Linux User Group is having another meeting.

We will be meeting in the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster 
University. This is in the shadow of the BT Tower, the nearest tube stations 
are Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Goodge Street. You will find a 
map at [ http://www.wmin.ac.uk/static/maps.asp ] or via www.streetmap.co.uk 


NOTE: you will need to sign in at the front desk to gain access to the 
building. There are building works at the moment but we'll post signs if the 
entrance has moved. 


Talks 

We have two main talks planned. These will be in the large lecture theatre on 
the second floor(This schedule is tenative and might change):

12:00 - 12:30 Welcome and Introduction. Also an opportunity to try and debug 
overhead projectors :-) 

12:30 - 13:30  Zachary Struhs - Introduction to Networking 

13:30 - 14:30 Break

14:30 - 16:00 Dan Kolb - Packet Filter(pf) 

16:00 - 17:00 Open Forum.  To round the meeting off: There will be an open 
forum discussion, where people can come to the front of the lecture hall, and 
give little "shortie" presentations on topics of interest to the group. 
Please email gllugadmin at linux.co.uk. 

Do please be aware that we can't guarantee that the talks will happen at the 
times stated, but we will do our best to make sure they do. 


Other activities 

Away from the formal lectures, we have two rooms set aside, both on the second 
floor, same level as main lecture room. 

The network lab, as it is known, can be used for rolling demos of Linux being 
installations and to experiment with configuration. 

We also have the Multimedia room. This will be used for people to set is up 
their own machines. You can do this if you have something to show off, or you 
are looking for a solution to some problems. If your are bringing in your own 
machine, make sure you sign it in when you arrive, otherwise security won't 
let you take it when you go! 

We will have access to some of the latest iso images and a CD-Burner. 

If you decide to bring a PC, please have the serial number written down ahead 
of time, in case it needs to be registered at the ground floor Reception. We 
may also take a picture of you and your PC as proof of ownership. 

The network lab and the multimedia room are the places you can go to, should 
you be looking for sanctuary away from the formal talks. If we're lucky the 
Refectory on the ground floor will have its food and drinks machines 
restocked. 


After 

After the meeting, for those that want, the group will move off to a pub. 'The 
Green Man' pub, at this time, no longer takes reservations for private 
parties. If anyone has a suggestion for a new pub venue please email 
gllugadmin at linux.co.uk. Otherwise we will venture off to 'The Green Man.' To 
help you find the pub have a look at this external streetmap link. 


Next meeting 

The next meeting will be an InstallFest on Saturday 21st of June, the date for 
the next full meeting has not yet been set. Keep watching these pages for 
further announcements.
