4/19 – Open House
That’s right folks, this Saturday CPLUG will be out in force. We will have two booths, one outside the CSL and one near Eng. IV. Our team at the CSL will be giving tours of the CSC Machine room and doing other nerdy stuff. Our Sun Bound booth will have general assortment of t-shirts for sale, pasty nerds roasting in what will probably be their first time outside in weeks, and lots of machines running everything from Gentoo to Slackware. Come stop by, bug us, pick the minds of your current execboard, and talk to those who want to take our jobs next year.

4/26 – FYM 33
As every quarter, we will be hosting Free Your Machine in the Networks Lab (Bldg 22 Room 124) starting at 10AM. Come get your machine freed and filled with penguiny goodness. If you already have Linux come by and enjoy the nerddom. There will be Pizza.

5/6 – Bash Scripting Talk of Doom Death (Tentative, but appropriate, title)
Josh, aka SillyG, aka President of CPLUG, will be giving a talk on BASH scripting Tuesday May 13th at 7pm in a room to be determined. A lot of us have been waiting for this to happen, so come on by and learn a thing or two.

Till then,
/Nat

Update: Check our facebook group (cplug) for a facebook event, and the room number.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our events this month. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. mgius would also like to say this about getting to know CPLUG:

There are 2 main ways to get active in the club. The first is the Mailing List. Just sign up for announce and cplug and go from there. The second way to hear about events, ask questions, and get to know us is through our IRC channel. We are #cplug on Freenode.net. If you need help setting up IRC we recommend XChat for Linux & Windows. Our mac users reccomend different things, but I’ve heard Colloquy, and if you use Pidgin/Gaim it has (bad) IRC support. For help on setting up IRC check this link.

Hope to see you guys soon at some of our other events or online.

/Nat

Event Time: 10am – whenever
Room: 20-124

Do you want to join the elite ranks of programmers on the Cal Poly campus? Then come to Free Your Machine this Saturday and have an experienced group of Linux Veterans install Linux on your computer free of charge. It’s a completely free operating system and set of programs continually improved by a vast community of developers. Many Cal Poly computer science and engineering courses are based around Linux, so the earlier you get familiar with it, the faster you’ll be up and running in those courses.

Pre-registration is recommended, so we can gauge space and personnel.

Look forward to seeing you there!
