Aclug Meeting: July 31, 2000 - UML - Unified Modeling Lanuguage
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry-standard language for
specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software
systems. It simplifies the complex process of software design, making a
"blueprint" for construction.

James Violette will be the guest speaker for this meeting.


Linux Demo @ Saturday Sale: Saturday, August 12, 9AM - 3PM
----------------------------------------------------------

The ACLUG Staff is continuing to Demo Linux at the Saturday Sale, which is held
on the second Saturday of each month. We will be educating people on why they
should consider Linux as an alternative to Windows 9x and Windows 2000. As
always, we will have copies of various distributions available for $5 per CD.

Please consider dropping by and lending your support at the Demo.


Other Business
--------------

Meeting Schedule
----------------

Pursuant to decisions made on August 16, 1999, ACLUG meetings will be scheduled
as follows:

 * Every other Monday at 7:00/7:30 PM

Meetings are typically held in 260 Jabara Hall on the campus of Wichita State
University.  A sign will be posted outside Room 260 in the event that we need to
meet elsewhere.  Details on the event schedule and upcoming events can be found

http://www.aclug.org/maps/.


Future Aclug Events
-------------------

Please send suggestions for future topics to info@xxxxxxxxx or mention them at
the meeting.  Consider this the ACLUG suggestion box! :-)

 +++ We need meeting topics and volunteer speakers for the meetings.+++


Meeting Format Reminder
-----------------------

One issue that has been somewhat troublesome is making presentations interesting
and useful for people with a wide range of Linux experiences.  We want our
meetings to be useful for as many people as possible, so our plan is this: For
those of you that are starting out with Linux, or just interested in what Linux
can do, please feel free to join us at 7:00 PM on each meeting date. (every
other Monday)  We'll cover some basics about the evening's topic or Linux in
general, or  have an informal Q&A time, depending on what the people present
prefer. Also,  if you have any Linux questions (beginning or advanced), we'd
like to get to them between 7 and 7:30 so that the evening doesn't get too late
for those that have to work or go to class in the morning.

Starting at 7:30, we will cover old and new business, and make announcements of
upcoming ACLUG events.

Our regular presentation will begin after the announcements, at approximately
7:45. Of course, if you can make it at 7, you're encouraged to stay for the
whole program.  You are welcome to arrive at either 7 or 7:30.


Location and Maps
-----------------

We will hold the this event in the Computer Science Department in Jabara Hall on
the main east campus of Wichita State University. ACLUG has assembled some
driving instructions on the Web at http://www.aclug.org/maps/.  We will usually
be located on the second floor of Jabara Hall.  We expect to be in room 260, but
we'll be sure to post signs if we need to relocate elsewhere.  You'll be able to
find a sign on the wall in front of the 2nd floor elevator when you arrive. Room
260 is almost directly in front of you as you exit the second-floor elevator.

About the Air Capital Linux Users Group
---------------------------------------

ACLUG was created in early 1998 as a group to help people discover better ways
to take advantage of modern computing through the use of Linux.  All ACLUG
events are free; we have hosted many free Linux installation events, during
which Linux was installed on dozens of computers for no charge.  We would like
to show the benefits of Unix operating systems such as Linux to as many people
as possible.  ACLUG members range from people just starting out with computers
and Linux to those that have written parts of the Linux system or are doing
computer research under the Linux platform.

About Linux
-----------
Linux is a modern, fully 32- and 64-bit operating system that runs on a wide
variety of hardware.  Its most popular use is on PC-style hardware, where Linux
can completely replace Windows 95, Windows 98, NT, or Windows 2000.  Linux
sports astounding reliability, power, flexibility, scalability, and networking.
Linux is the most popular OS for Internet servers, beating NT.  Linux also works
on less-expensive computers than NT/Windows 2000.

Linux is developed by a worldwide team of programmers: individuals, companies,
and universities using the Internet.  All source code is available, allowing
peer review -- which is important for an operating system.

ACLUG would like to show you the benefits of Linux for home and business use.
Feel free to attend one of our meetings or ask questions about Linux at
help@xxxxxxxxx.  You may also examine the archives of previous discussions on
our discussion lists at http://www.complete.org/mailinglists/archives/ or join
the list; instructions for doing so are at http://www.aclug.org/mailinglists/.
Announcements for upcoming ACLUG meetings and events will always be sent first
to the aclug-announce mailing lists.
