Your best experience might be with a Chromium based web browser.
You might be muted on entry, so join early if you want to test your
camera or microphone. Use V on keyboard to toggle your camera. Use M

IMPORTANT TO US:

follow first name with an initial.

three vertical dots (more actions) in lower right hand corner, select
Settings, then under Profile "Set your display name" (you can ignore
the "Set your gravatar email block").
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
TOPICS:
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the meeting may select general and specific topics.
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 our knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving, techniques and troubleshooting.
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. However, it has many benefits.
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.

TOPIC: Round Table Discussion with Panel of Volunteers
SYNOPSIS:
This month, the Saint Louis Linux Users Group LUG meeting will be
a bit of a different format. We will have a round table discussion
about DNS, adding new websites and domain names, and IP address
geolocation.
Andrew St. Clair, Stan Reichardt, and Mike Knight started some
interesting threads on our DISCUSS mailing list this week.
Lee Lammert and Dave Forest have provided some good tools and
directions.
We thought we'd go over these, elaborate on them, and give folks
an opportunity for some follow-up discussions.
Sharpen your thoughts and prepare your questions.

BASE: Introduction to emacs�
By Steve Stegman <https://www.sluug.org/bio/Steve_Stegmann>
This will be a very basic introduction to emacs. It will feature
starting, exiting, and saving files. It will also give you the basics of
moving around and using a few of the control keys and internal command
line functions. My working version of emacs, set up for the C language,
has 2,832 command line functions. It will also cover making global
changes in a file, using a string or regexp as the target to be
replaced. You'll understand how emacs uses buffers to keep things
organized.The following was previously scheduled for presentation at
STLLINUX.ORG on 22 July 2021.
MAIN: What's new at SUSE
"Kubernetes, SUSE Rancher, LEAP to SLE, and SALT.... maybe some pepper?"
by Michael Carrington
<https://www.sluug.org/bio/Michael_Carrington.shtml>
A look at what's new in SUSE Rancher 2.6, details on what LEAP to SLE
is, and configuration management - it's time if you're not currently
utilizing it. I'll demonstrate some useful commands that every linux
system administrator would love to help aide and automate their jobs.
Meeting link will be shared on our website and this mailing list.

LINUX WORKSHOP
The workshop is where we usually configure, examine, fix, install,
repair, and troubleshoot difficult hardware and software configuration
problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also frequently fixed.
The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest
enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization active in
the Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
> https://slacc.sluug.org/
NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice. Our usual library
reservations for room meetings were cancelled indefinitely. Room fees
had previously been paid by the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG).

Face-to-face meeting were usually held on the first Thursday of every
month from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM Central Time, USA. We hope to maintain
that timeline into the future by using ONLINE sessions. All physical
meetings and ONLINE sessions are free and open to the public.
We have no membership dues or other charges for the meetings. So,
please join us at our next meetings, sessions or other events for fun,
knowledge and networking. All computer hardware, operating systems and
software are explored.
