Its official! John Zukowski, author of "Java AWT Reference" will speak on May 21 and May 22. (A big 'thank you' to Kerri Bonasch of O'Reilly & Associates for all her help!) Also Matthew Feldt, our Linux SIG Manager, will present "Linux as a web server," and Hewlett-Packard will have a presentation on UNIX/NT applications.
ITEC '97 continues to take on form and looks to be the best show we have done to date. Mark your calendars!...May 21 and 22... And remember we can provide free tickets (hopefully at the April meeting) as well as online registration and online tickets. "How to get free tickets" will be posted on the web. Please get your tickets from us.
IF YOU PRE-REGISTER with ASM online, please be sure to indicate that you are with SLUUG and not your own company, as they will be tracking our attendance this year and we want a strong showing (it helps to reduce our costs).
Visit the web site (http://www.sluug.org/~cfw1/itec97.html) for information about working the booth, administrative progress, and general information including presentation updates. Stop by often as it is updated almost daily.
Our booth will be located against the wall adjacent to the entrance this year (Booth #1077). Traffic should be high and we will need all the volunteers we can get. Please consider working the booth, even if you can only spare an hour. Let us know even if it is tentative. Sign up on the web, tell Dave Mills or Chris Wanta at the meeting(s), or send email to mills@mail.sluug.org or cfw1@mail.sluug.org.
It looks like we have an excellent event in store this year. We hope to see all of you there.
SLUUG has a deal for you. We will be raffling off a Linux machine in June. Tickets will be available at the regular meetings for $1 each. Watch for them and win your own UNIX machine.
This is the opportunity you expected isn't it?
Thanks to members of the St. Louis Unix Users Group - Linux SIG and the new SLUUG Corporate Sponsor representative the following hardware was donated and assembled into the SLUUG Linux server. This server will be showing up on the sluug.org network soon.
I am still trying to get the following to work with Linux:
The SLUUG Steering Committee meets the Tuesday following the general 2nd Wednesday meeting at 6:00 PM in the 2nd floor training room of Daugherty Systems, One City Place in Creve Coeur.

Object Oriented (OO) technology is hot! It's a proven competitive advantage for many companies. People with object experience are in very high demand. Find out why objects are not a fad. Learn why objects are more productive for analysis, design, and development. Sure, C++, Delphi, Java, and the Internet are OO. But now we even have OO COBOL. Learn how you can get started and hear about some leading-edge examples of OO applications.
Jerry Porter is an OO consultant with Insight Technology Group in St. Louis. He previously worked in the Object Technology Resource Center at Southwestern Bell Telephone. He is a co-founder and last year's president of the St. Louis OO User Group. Jerry is an Affiliate Professor in the Master of Information Management program at the Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science.
