During 2011 VanLUG began using a new medium to announce upcoming meetings: VanLUG Meetup.
Please visit us at http://www.meetup.com/VanLUG-BC/ where you can check out all upcoming VanLUG meetings and events. While there you also can introduce yourself and get acquainted with other VanLUG members.
VanLUG Meetup is also a site where you can indicate your interest and intentions regarding the assorted meetings and events. Your RSVP (yea or nay) there will help us ensure venues are adequate.
VanLUG runs several mailing lists, all of which are open to the general public. Most of these mailing lists are also reproduced as news groups at news.gweep.ca
Hello Everyone,
As many of you know, LinuxCon North America will be happening in
Vancouver this summer at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver from August 17th
to the 19th.
From LinuxCon's web site:
"LinuxCon is the industry's premiere Linux conference. It's North
America's annual technical conference that provides an unmatched
collaboration and education space for all matters Linux. LinuxCon
brings together the best and brightest that the Linux community has to
offer, including core developers, administrators, end users, business
executives and operations experts - the best technical talent and the
decision makers and industry experts who are involved in the Linux
community."
VanLUG members who are interested in attending the event will be
eligible for an additional 20% discount off the applicable
registration fee. This makes joining VanLUG immediately worthwhile,
since the discount will already be greater than the VanLUG membership
cost. The discount will apply to all levels of registration fees,
including early-bird before March 31st and student rates.
