This meeting is free and open to the public.
There are certain rules which will be strictly observed:
1. No meat eating inside the Refuge.
2. No personal abuse.
Every member of every free software org, tribe, drinking club, and family,
is invited, without prejudice, without fear, and without favor.
Newcomers are particularly invited. Come down and join us, even if you
bring no hardware.
Likely we will have enough electric power strips and cables, but bring
extras if you wish. CDs, DVDs, tapes, wax cylinders, quipus, memorable
stanzas, black cubes, etc. of your favorite operating systems and software
are welcome. See below about management of stuff you bring with you.
Please read the appended standard blurb about Install Fests before you come
down, if you hope to get stuff installed.
Jonas Arnaldo and Kevin Mark and Jay Sulzberger will be available to answer
any questions we may.
In the next month we will likely have special meetings dealing with:
1. Lisp and RoboCup, http://www.lispnyc.org
2. Introduction to network security, special emphasis on time series
analysis and key management
3. How to buy parts and assemble a computer well suited to run a Free *n*x
We thank the Three Jewels, LXNY, and GNUbies for their generous help in
making this Fest possible, and we thank the Three Jewels for hosting this
Workshop, and Sunday Workshops to come, Sundays of Free Software in
New York City.
