As part of reviving the UUG, we would like to start the weekly UUG Hangout. These are meant to be a local, casual meeting, where we can discuss applicable material. We will be holding hangouts every Thursday evening from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. A potential topic of discussion for our first one would be "Using Linux as your IDE". This is an opportunity for more advanced Unix/Linux users to help teach those with less experience, and for those new to this realm to learn, and meet, from others. If it really comes down to it, we can all play our steam games from Linux

Read MoreThis has been a long time coming. We're planning an organized flame-war towards the beginning of next semester. This is the most fair warning we can give you. We're going to compete with window managers. Time to start finding all the best qualities of your favorite window manager. I'm going to try and find a panel of non-unix-geek judges to grade performance on this.
Good luck, and may the best window manager win!

Thanks to everyone for all the participation! We had some lively discussion on the mailing list this past week and lots of accounts created (or re-created in many cases) on the website. I'm confident that the club will continue to be a great resource for BYU students (and others who stick around after graduating) with the new leadership.
