Second Life
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Second Life (SL) is like a MMORPG (Massively Multi-player Online Role
Playing Game), although many of the people hanging out there will be
offended if you called it a “game”. It is a 3D virtual environment

General Meeting: Joomla
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Joomla is a content management system (CMS), which enables you to build multi-user Web sites quickly. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular free and open source Web site software available. Joomla, which operates on top of a LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP-perl), is designed to be easy to install and set up even if you're not an advanced user. Many Web hosting services offer a single-click install, getting your new site up and running in just a few minutes.

General Meeting: GRUB2
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Just when you had gotten used to using GRUB instead of LILO, Ubuntu goes and changes GRUB to GRUB2. It turns out that the similarities between the two boot loaders end at the name. In this talk Kyle will go over the differences between GRUB and GRUB2 and discuss the new configuration files, which files you should and shouldn't touch, and why the Esc key no longer works at boot time. There will be a group counseling session at the end of the meeting for disaffected users.
