Agenda for Fall-Winter 2003 Meetings is Set
The agendas for all the upcoming Fall-Winter 2003 (September through December)
HUG General Membership Meetings are now set.
Individual meeting agendas are listed in the
HUG General Membership Meetings section below.
You will notice that each meeting is about a hot, new computer
topic that is of current interest. Your HUG Officers picked these
specific topics because some of you (the members) expressed an interest
in them. Please let us know if these presentations cover the topics
that you are interested in.
Free Cable Modem Access for HUG Members
The rooms at the church where
the HUG General Membership Meeting is held,
the HUG Linux Group Meeting is held, and
the HUG Computer Repair Workshop is held
all have a new RJ-45 wall outlet for cable modem Internet access.

HUG General Membership Meetings
September 9th 2003 Meeting -
HUG Computer Workshops About The HUG Workshops -
The HUG Computer Workshop (formerly known as the DOS/Windows
SIG), where beginners' questions are answered and problem
computers are analyzed for free, is held on the THIRD SUNDAY of
each month, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. [See Meeting Locations Section
below for room location.] If you are new to computers
and would like a little coaching in basic computer operations
or if you just need to have some techno-speak decoded, then
this is where you want to be.
Linux SIG Meetings
The HUG Linux Group has started holding separate Linux meetings
again. The HUG Linux Group Meetings are held the FOURTH THURSDAY
of the month, from 7:00 PM to 9:00, in the same room that the
Monthly General Membership Meetings are held.
[See Meeting Locations Section below for room location.]
If you are an experienced Linux user and wish to participate in
a Linux discussion session, or if you are want to learn what
Linux is about, then this SIG is for you. Guests are welcome.
HUG Executive Board Meetings
The HUG Executive Board Meetings are held at Little Joe's Pizza
(formerly Brian's Pizza) in the Swatara Square Shopping
Center across from the east shore Wal-Mart. The center
is bordered by Route 322, Mushroom Hill Road, and
Grayson Road. Board meetings are always open to the
public. Here is where we handle the club's monthly
business -- so there are no demonstrations nor hands-on
help. But if you would like the club to benefit from
your input on policies and procedures or you'd like to
volunteer, then this is the place to be. Meetings start
at 6:00 PM and run about an hour or until the club's
business is completed.
Meeting Locations
General Membership Meeting Location -
Remember, General Membership
Meetings are held on the SECOND TUESDAY of each month
from 6:30~9:00 PM in the Skyline View Brethren in
Christ Church, 7733 Hillcrest Avenue, Harrisburg.

Jonestown Road (Rt. 22) just 6/10 of a mile west of Rt.
39. It's on the south side of the highway, next to a
Fulton Bank and across the highway from a Getty-Mart.
Share the experience and bring a friend.
