Saint Louis Unix Users GroupThe Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) is an IRS 501c(6) designated not-for-profit professional association dedicated to education and communication among computer users. SLUUG members include many Linux and UNIX professionals, Networking experts, System experts, hobbyists, and students. Also, many who are interested in Unix, Unix-like Operating Systems, Linux, BSD and other Free Open Source Software (FOSS) applications, products, projects and services. We have met continuously since we incorporated in July 1992. All of our meetings are free and open to the public. There is no individual membership fee. Monthly Technical PresentationsConnection instructions will first be sent to our mailing lists and then linked here . We will open the remote session at about 6:00 PM, Central Time, so that you can join early to test your microphone, screen sharing and video camera . Then we start at 6:30 PM with our BASE introductory level session ( often focused on personal computing ); which may include either amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries, smoke and mirrors, superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space. Sometime after 7:00 PM we attempt a quick welcome, introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP (Questions and Answers) segment. Sometime after 7:15 PM, we may take a short break before our MAIN topic ( often focused on enterprise computing ), Where!

What!Then something more advanced, detailed, important, new, profound, significant, timely or useful. MAIN Topic: Special Website Transition Working SessionPresenter: Sean TwiehausLive code combination, procedures, transition, and work flow instruction to the new SLUUG web site developed by Sean Twiehaus. As demonstrated: site.sluug.org
It would be a big help if the people who plan on attending the Thursday meeting could pre-read what I have below. This is the repo for the site: https://git.sluug.org/git/sluug_stllug_site Login credentials required. This repo will have updates several times a month as new content is added for the new meetings. If you look in the README.md file it describes the commands that are available for developing the site, building the site, previewing the site, etc. The build command will create a ./dist directory. That directory contains the content that needs to be copied to the web server. This is the repo for the AI Content Generation: https://git.sluug.org/git/sluug_stllug_generation Login credentials required. This repo contains a script to generate AI content to supplement what the presenter provided. This repo should change very infrequently. The idea is, you take what the presenter sends to steercom, you format that information into JSON and put it in the correct location, then you run this script. It will add more content. You copy the content to the site repo. You build, preview, and commit the content to the site repo. You should not actually commit any content to this script repo. The README.md file explains how to set up a dev system and the initial json files to run the script. As of right now the README files are the same on Github and Bock. They haven't diverged yet. So the people attending the Thursday meeting could read the READMEs here: https://github.com/seantwie03/sluug_stllug_generation https://github.com/seantwie03/sluug_stllug_site Looking at the site, it looks like the last update I did was December. NOTE: December SLUUG was done. December STLLUG was not done. So during the meeting I can show the process by adding January SLUUG and STLLUG. Then we can divide the other months up amongst meeting participants. Maybe Stan can do Feb SLUUG, someone else can do Feb STLLUG, someone else can do March SLUUG, someone else can do March STLLUG, etc. The more people that can get hands-on experience with the process the better! Possible Future TopicsSLUUG Annual Meeting and ElectionsAs directed by SLUUG By-Laws, a required annual meeting was held 12 February 2025. Attending any two SLUUG sponsored meetings in calendar year 2024 qualifies you as a voting member. Ballots for February 2025 elections are now available for secret balloting. An absentee ballot could be printed for mailing to us. You might be able to use a LibreOffice Writer ballot file that could be printed and mailed to us. Your ballot must reach us for counting by our BOARD well before 3 March 2025 (the next STEERCOM meeting). Attending any two SLUUG sponsored meetings in calendar year 2023 qualified members to vote. Mail in balloting was held thru out February 2024. That resulted in Ken Johnson and Sean Twiehaus being elected to our Board of Governors. James Conroy continued as Chairman of the Saint Louis Linux Users Group. As directed by SLUUG By-Laws, the next required annual meeting will be held 11 February 2026.
