18:00 -- 21:00 NEWLUG ~ Newcomer Linux Users Group
https://newlug.sluug.org/
A Linux Users Group for the newcomer.
** *NOTE LOCATION CHANGE FOR AUGUST* **
St. Louis County Library ~ Bridgeton Trails Branch
3455 McKelvey Road
Bridgeton MO 63044-2500
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
One on one help for anyone curious about or new to Linux. All
meetings are free and open to the public.
TOPICS?
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the room may select the topic.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving and effective techniques.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.
Order of Events:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
Users that bring their laptops (or even desktops) often connect to the
Internet for application installation and bookmarking of interesting web
sites. Early arrival may provide enough time to assist installation,
configuration and demonstration of Linux on hardware. Come early,
come often!

Meetings are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.
6:30 BASE/tutorial: Secure Linux to Linux Shares by Stan Reichardt
Mostly about using sshfs to securely share directories of files betweenLinux machines, instead of SAMBA. Demonstration will show both Command Line Interface (CLI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) useage.
SSHFS (SSH Filesystem) is a filesystem client to mount and interact with directories and files located on a remote server or workstation over a normal ssh connection. The client interacts with the remote file system via the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), a network protocol providing file access, file transfer, and file management functionality over any reliable data stream that was designed as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0.
~7:00 General Q&A, Announcements
~7:15 Conversation
~7:30 MAIN: Grand Unified (Color) Theory: Meet Roy G. Biv
Every second we are conscious, our eyes send color signals to our brains for processing, but we are rarely conscious of that process. How do we actually perceive color in our environments, on our monitors, in printed materials, & in films? What does it really mean to be color blind? How has color been presented in art? What’s the difference between RGB & CMY? And why do our brains play cognitive & physiological tricks on us when it comes to understanding color, motion, perspective & other optical illusions? All these questions & many more will be covered in our upcoming talk by Scott Granneman & Jans Carton.
SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.

18:00 -- 21:00 SLACC ~ St. Louis Area Computer Club
https://slacc.sluug.org/
Linux Configuration Workshop
St. Louis County Library, Thornhill Branch,
12863 Willowyck Drive,
St. Louis, MO 63146
The Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest enduring, continuously meeting personal
computer organization active in Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
We often hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no
other event or activity scheduled.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides many fully functional applications that
perform well on both older and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and provides an
extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high priced proprietary software.
The workshop is where we usually examine, fix, repair, and troubleshoot, difficult hardware and software
configuration problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also
frequently fixed. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it.
Bring your laptop or desktop PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network
connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. Just remember to bring your laptop and power strip or your
desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two discs or a flash thumb drive.
For newcomers, we can evaluate your hardware and current Operating System setup. If we determine there is
sufficient time, we can perform a complete functioning Linux installation.
