Code Rush – February 14th, 2006

Election for the MUG Board of Directors

It’s election time again. Make sure you are here to vote for the next board of directors for the Michigan Unix Users Group.

Main Topic: Code Rush – The movie

Our very own Wolf is prominently featured in this 60-minute NOVA documentary called *Code Rush*:

“Life on the edge in Silicon Valley – home of high tech, high anxiety, and high stakes. Take a revealing look at Netscape Communications engineers as they set out boldly and brazenly to save their company. A virtual panorama of human drama and techno-thrills, Code Rush puts you at the center of the high-intensity clash of science, engineering, and commerce.”

Secondary Topic: Ubuntu-Detroit Youth Project

Tiger Whitehead, from [[http://www.ChannelNet.com][ChannelNet]], has an idea for a project for Detroit’s inner city youth that will give them access to computers and technology, and Linux is right in the middle of this project. It’s a great chance to participate in a way that helps the local community and helps put Detroit on the map of technology centers. Tiger is going to give us a brief overview of the project, and we’ll have a chance to discuss the ideas and hopefully talk about how we, as an organization, can help out.

We know the meeting happens to be on Valentines day, so, why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone? You can take your significant other out AND attend the meeting, by just bringing them to the meeting :)
