Guilford County Linux Users group is a LUG for the residents of Guilford. I am starting this group because there seems to be interest and to help other make the change to a viable operating system. Further more, no one could possibly have a life and know everything there is to know about Linux.
Our purpose is to promote Linux through sharing with one another the hurdles we have cleared.
We encourage all Linux users and those who want to learn Linux to join. It does not matter your current skill level. The operating system is free, so small businesses are especially encouraged to join as well as students and other professionals.
We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.

Park behind the bldg and come in the back door.

We will be reprising the presentation of "git" by Braden Douglass, that John Ford hosted in his meetup in January. Braden Douglass, the presenter, is a member of both Meetup groups and there was interest among our members who weren't able to attend John's group, so we will have Braden give the presentatioon again.If version control has interest for you, you'll want to hear about the "git" system, it's features and attributes.

John Ford will be presenting jQuery at this meeting. jQuery is a great little javascript tool for use in web site development and even in some application development. It's versatile and easy to employ but very powerful even for one who is not an expert at javascript. John is an interesting speaker and presents this topic in a simple and understandable format, all the while bringing lots of interest and presenting practical examples for you to use and modify.

Ever wanted to automate your computer to perform a specific job? Well, BASH will allow one to do just that. BASH is simple enough that almost anyone can write simple scripts to program some activity. But, it's capable enough that entire applications can be written with BASH. Joe Golden, a group member from Walkertown, NC, will present BASH in terms that even a newbie can understand and yet the presentation will inspire any of us to try our hand at command line scripting with BASH.

Amber Graner, from Union Mills, NC, will be speaking on "An NTEU's Year of Finding FOSS Using Ubuntu" at this meeting. BTW, NTEU stands for "Non-Technical End User". Amber is a converted Mac user who embraced Linux and Ubuntu not much over a year ago. Since that time she has made quite a name for herself throughout the US being involved with Ubuntu's Local Community Teams. She is a champion for greater numbers of women being involved with Linux.

Hello LUG's, We are going to install Apache, MySQL and PHP and configure them to work together. The acid test will be a simple text file: info.php content: We will also make a call to the MySQL database to make certain all works. We are going to start promptly at 6pm as this is a difficult topic if you are not used to it, and I want to make certain we have time for questions and thorough answers. Please email me directly if you want to get primer for this information presented.

Hello All, This week we will discuss the eye candy that clearly delineates Linux from Microsoft. This is not only eye candy, but we will also discover how to use this eye candy to slightly increase productivity. Set shortcut keys, wobble your windows, cube your desktop and more. At the beginning of this session we will have a brief troubleshooting session. We may not solve specific issues, however, the problems discovered here, will guide the next few meetings...

Hello All, This week, we will discuss how to try different operating systems without committing the hardware to the test. I have tested more than 15 different operating systems without ever disturbing my Fedora 11 base system. I currently have 4 vm's (virtual machines) on my notebook. This will be really impressive for those with limited hardware and really useful when testing new distributions of Linux.

Sorry about the false start. This will be our first meeting and it will be held at: Discovery Learning 431 Spring Garden Street Greensboro, NC 27401 Our fist topic will be iptables: firewall, throttling, port address translation, and more.

We will be having our first meeting, to introduce ourselves and meet one another in September. The first topic will be IPTables for firewalling and throttling packets. A lot of you use Linux for web and other applications. It would help if you know the particular ports for your application so that we may open them. When ever we discuss IPTables, it is a good idea to have wireshark loaded on your computer to follow along.
