[Tfug] Newbie question

Wed Oct 4 20:00:15 MST 2017

Around 2000 to maybe 2002 or 2003 TFUG used to meet.  And I seem to
recall meetings around 1999 or 2000 at the Tucson newspaper facility. 

I attended for a short while in 2002.  I always enjoyed the meetings. 
Nothing like meeting in person as a group.  I now live in Phoenix and
have attended the PLUG meetings.  I always enjoy them, however they meet
for a presentation and then everyone leaves.  I wish there was a meeting
I could go to with my laptop and get some pointers on how to do things
like apply a driver.... etc.  I think those types of meetings would be
fun and I think I would learn a lot. 

TFUG has always been a group that does not like structure.  

I think most Linux groups do not meet much anymore.  And take a look at
the lists.  They used to be very busy.  I belong to two Linux lists and
AZPHP.  All three lists are like a ghost town these days.  10 to 15
years ago they were alive.  What happened?  I miss the good old days!!

They don't have a requirement on the type of event or group type. However they do not have a projector so you would need to bring your own monitor.
