October Meeting Recap

I want to let everybody know what happened at October's IT Professionals Group meeting, so you know what your missing if you don't attend.

Shortly after 1:00 PM, when people stopped trickling in, we headed off to the student lounge for FREE PIZZA! More often than not, lunch is provided by the school just for showing up.

When we returned to the lab, at about 1:20, Ken (the ITPG President) began his presentation on how to create a bootable flash drive complete with Puppy Linux. Attending members were given more than just knowledge though. They got to keep the 1GB flash drives!

During this time I (the ITPG Secretary) was busy preparing a prize drawing. Everybody who showed up got their name placed in the proverbial hat, along with an additional entry for each non-perishable good they donated to the food drive. At 1:40 the winner was decided. Angela Bennett (the ITPG Vice President) won the 16GB flash drive due in no small part to her donation of 40 cans!

As if that wasn't enough, Ken then demonstrated some of the features of DDWRT, which he had shown the group how to install on a router at a previous meeting. With that, we wrapped up the meeting, though many stayed awhile to play with and configure Puppy Linux.

All said and done about 15 members, new and old, attended. Where were you? Well, whether you attended or not, we hope to see you next time!
