The Linux SIG meets Monday September 15th at 7:00 pm in the TBCS Clubhouse. Your SIG facilitator has been sidetracked since our last meeting with family matters so I don’t have a formal September Linux presentation. I’m counting on YOU (the TBCS Linux community) to have comments, questions or Linux success stories to share.

I’m also presenting at the TBCS General Meeting the next evening: Tuesday, September 16 at 6:45 pm. The subject is Open Source software and will feature a short TED video by Richard Stallman, the creator of the GNU/Free software movement and my favorite software list.

I managed to collect these September links we may discuss at our Monday meeting:
