[wplug] [wplug-announce] General User Meeting on February 2, 2002

[Zach Paine]

Fellow monkeybot lovers-

This coming Saturday (Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!), February 2, 2002, 
the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group will be hosting it's monthly 
General User Meeting.  It will run from 10am-2pm and will be held in 
Carnegie Mellon University's Newel-Simon Hall, Room 1507.  This month's 
topic will be how to run windows applications in Linux (and not having 
to worry about silly "My Party" worms!).  We will begin at 10am with 
introductions and some discussion to allow everyone to get comfortable 
and all that jazz.  If you plan on attending, I highly recommend that 
you arrive at 10am so that you can meet everyone and everyone can meet 
you!

At 11am, Jonathan Billings will start the fun times by demonstrating 
Windows 2000 running in vmware (http://www.vmware.com) on a Linux 
machine.

Following him, Zach Paine will give a brief demonstration of the Wine 
Project (http://www.winehq.com), including Cavedog's Total Annihilation 
(http://www.cavedog.com/totala/index.html) and Apple's QuickTime Player 
(http://www.apple.com/quicktime) running on Linux.

Once these presentations are over, we will have some group discussion 
regarding this and I'm sure many other topics.

Be sure to bring money for lunch. $5 or so should do.  Maps and 
directions can be found on the left-hand sidebar of the wplug homepage 
(http://www.wplug.org).  If you have any questions about the meeting 
feel free to send some mail to me ( zman [at] wplug [dot] [org] ) or to 
the wplug-plan list.

-Zach and company

PS.  Thanks to the few #wplug irc l0sers who understood the monkeybot 
reference.
