18:00 -- 21:00 NEWLUG ~ Newcomer Linux Users Group
https://newlug.sluug.org/
A Linux Users Group for the newcomer.
St. Louis County Library ~ Prairie Commons Branch
915 Utz Lane,
Hazelwood MO 63042-2739
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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. The library will
not provide us with monitors, keyboards, power strips or computer mice.
Come early, come often!

2 items of interest this week in StL.
Of most interest & importance, the awaited presentation by SuSE. They This topic had planned to present this to us while they were here for their nation wide, travelling show last September. That show was cancelled, and we’ve been trying to schedule it since. SO, we are elated that Michael will be coming in from Kansas City just to do this. We hope to have a great turnout of our members and other interested parties, so please invite everyone you know who is interested in Linux distress, file systems, or SuSE! So, make sure you all come Thurs nite! (Yes, we used to have the separate SuSE LUG at lunch time but we will do this as the regular nite-time mtng.)
The secondary event this week is the revival of the Red Hat Group. Not a part of the StL LUG but rather a wholly-owned marketing arm of RedHat (now IBM) Corp., this group hasn’t me for the 15 months of IBM’s acquisition.
Now, on Wed (i.e. TOMORROW) it resumes

BASE: AWK and sed Power Tools by James Conroy
This topic was not done last month (December) and is now re-scheduled
for this month.
This will be an intro to the Power Tools of Unix Text Manipulation.
One of the best things about Unix and Unix like systems is the ability
to pipe and redirect plain text from one program to another.
Using built in commands you can do many operations such as sorting,
counting lines and search for strings in outputs.
But what if you want to do more complicated processes, or do these
operates on a massive file?
That is where the power tools come in. Much as a carpenter has an
assortment of tools ranging from hand saws for detail work to lathes, we
have access to the power tools of the text processing world.
AWK and sed are the power tools of the plain text world. They are able
to do massive and complex actions that would take forever by hand.
MAIN: Cloud Concepts for Unix Gurus by Joe Epplin
The cloud is the future of computing. However it is not simple or one
thing. Joe will lead us through the various levels of complexity in ways
we can understand, as a user, as a developer, and as a system manager.
He will outline what tools we need to master to succeed in the cloud
environment at whatever level we want to interact.
This is "Big Picture" talk, intended to provide a base level of
understanding of the cloud so that we can understand where and how
previous talks on Docker and Kubernetics and future talks relate to the
cloud. And to how we can interact with the cloud at the level that
interests us, both individually (at home) and in our companies.
18:00 -- 21:00 SLACC ~ St. Louis Area Computer Club
https://slacc.sluug.org/
Linux Configuration Workshop
** *Bring a computer and Install Linux* **
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 the 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.
