General Meeting on Wednesday - 12 September 2018
The St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) general meetings are usually on the second Wednesday of each month.
We start the general meeting with a basic session (usually focused on personal computing); which may include either
amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications,
displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries,
superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space.
Then we will have our usual quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Questions and Answers Period.
After all that, we take a break before our main event (usually focused on enterprise computing).
