| Background/Details/Abstract/Outline/Summary
Tentively Jason Clark will present on MythTV. We are not yet sure if this will be done at the 14 May (Wednesday) SLUUG General Meeting, this 15 May (Thursday) STLLUG meeting, or both. This may be just one session or as a back to back Part One and Part Two. Jason has contacted Hauppauge and a few other vendors and hopes to have a drawing at the end of the presentation for a completed MythTV system (at least the backend piece) that will be built as part of the show. We hope to hear back from them soon. So far, Jason has grabbed a 1.5 ghz Mini-ITX board, 2.5 inch 80 gig laptop drive and 512M of RAM out of his basement stash. If Hauppauge comes through, Jason will have the Tuner card. Jason is working on getting a nice case for the whole thing (hoping for a small ITX case so this can be a nice addition to someone's home theater, but we may have to do with just a white box).
Jason will keep us updated and, once he knows about the parts, we will confirm this on the schedule.

| Basics:
The room is open and available from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Sometimes Linux knowlegeble folks show up early; so, the time between 6:00 PM and 6:45 PM
can be available for newcomers to GNU/Linux (the true beginners) to ask questions, view the
demonstration of applications, explore new features, receive one-on-one instructions, have
general discussions on hardware, review software configurations, and get general beginner orientation.
Sometimes volunteers even provide simple tutorials.
We want this time to be productive and informative for the Linux newcomers.
The Basics segment will be followed at 6:45 PM by the usual introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP segment. Then we will go into the presentation of our main topic at about 7:00 PM. | ||
