We are a new organization that started last semester dedicated to helping students learn and apply Unix and Linux. Currently, our goals are as follows: 1. To help students learn about Unix/Linux and to promote awareness about these systems 2. To create a network of online users to aid other Unix/Linux users 3. To invite corporate speakers to speak about their user of Unix and Linux within their business 4. To push for the active use of Unix and Linux around campus We have had some speaker sessions including Ken Harker, as well as an Install Fest, which more than 50 students attended. We are definitely excited about the new awareness of Unix and Linux. In order to reach our goals, we are seeking more speakers specialized in their knowledge of Unix and/or Linux. Since our group is extremely diverse in its skills level of Unix and Linux, we are looking for topics that generate interest and motivation to learn more about Unix and Linux. We are seeking a speaker for our last meeting of the semester on April 23rd. If convenient, we would deeply appreciate any help and/or suggestions. Please let us know if you are interested in being involved with our organization and possibly sending a speaker next semester of Fall 2001. As any new organization, we are also seeking sponsorship. This will help us pay for publicity items (such as posters, fliers, etc.) as well as refreshments (such as pizza during meetings since students tend to come to meetings that provide food). Sponsorship will also us to hold larger events that may allow the involvement of more students and spark more interest. Thank you so much for your time. If you have any additional questions regarding our organization, you may contact me at Deborah_M_Chen@mail.utexas.edu, or our organization president, Walter Hung at unixlinuxut@aol.com, or take a look at our temporary website, www.unixlinux.homestead.com. We look forward to any help you may offer. Please let us know as well if there is anything we can do for you. Best regards, Deborah Chen Corporate Consultant Officer
