Linux Install Seminar:
Once or twice a semester, we hold a Linux Install Seminar. We assist people in installing linux on their computer and teach them the basics of using it. In our recent seminars, we have been teaching people how to set up a dual-boot system with Windows and Linux both. In our next seminar, we will focus on learning how to use Linux, bypassing installation by using a "Live CD" distro. That way, we can go much more indepth.Spring Picnic:
We host a Spring Picnic for the College of Engineering and Applied Science every year some time mid Spring. It is typically an afternoon of free food, drinks (non-alcoholic, of course), and entertainment. This allows the students and faculty to interact outside of the classroom on a more social level. Check our home page for more details!Mailing Lists:
We currently are interested in migrating the mailing lists that the Engineering and Applied Science Organizations use from Mailman to a system that will allow us more customization and has a more user friendly interface.Computer Upgrades:
Our top priority this semester and next semester is to fully document how our server works, which provides connectivity, mail, and other resources to all engineering organizations at UWM. This way, any member interested in learning about server configuration can work on our server and learn how to read and edit those files. Once the server is fully documented, we will be rebuilding it from the ground up. We are using Red Hat 9 now, but will likely migrate to a new distro when it comes time to upgrade.Ideas
