NOTE: We have a new meeting location: we will be meeting at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim at 2528 W. La Palma Ave. Super-fast Internet with DSL & Elections We are still awaiting confirmations, but at the March main meeting we expect to have a DSL extravaganza. You'll find out all you ever wanted to know about DSL, and what services are available to SCOUG members. This presentations promises to be a blockbuster, and is brought to you by popular demand. Lest you think that the program will be the only excitement, think again. March at SCOUG means elections, and you'll have a chance to choose new board members and officers. Be sure to be there! After the presentation and elections, we'll have Q&A to help you with your questions & problems, and then a raffle. After a short break, then the Saturday SIG meetings: Programming SIG: Will look at using CVS and RCS for managing software development projects with multiple contributors. The group will be using these programs to manage the future SIG projects. Check back here (http://www.scoug.com/programming/index.html) as it gets closer to the meeting date. There will be some resources available to you to download which you'll want to get somewhat familiar with before the meeting! General Interest Group: We will take a stock Win95 system and actually do an OS/2 install along with creating a maintenance partition. Time permitting, we will also get into DSL and cable modem hookups. Internet SIG chats happen several times each week. Join them! (For further information, go to http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html). Monday, March 20, 7 PM PST meetings at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus): The OS/2 Help Desk will have volunteers to give you hands-on assistance solving your hardware and software problems. The Networking SIG will be meeting at the same time/place as the Help Desk in the new computer lab. They will continue the DSL topic of our General meeting. We will learn about the DSL service connecting the Eastside Christian School to the Internet, including the specifics of the DSL router that was installed. Utilizing the new DSL line, we will configure our OS/2 clients to use the DSL connection to the Internet. In addition, we will install and configure the InJoy Gateway product on the SCOUG WiseManager server to provide proxy capabilities for the OS/2 clients and learn why we would want to do this. Thursday, March 23, 7 PM PST meeting at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus): The Sundial SIG will meet in the computer lab. The topic is Mesa 2 macros and how they can make your life so much easier. How to get to Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus): The Eastside Christian School (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim is at 2528 W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of the street (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia) on the Grace Baptist Church property. It's a 2-story office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up near the roof. (It's between 2 large apartment complexes and can be easily missed). Look for the SCOUG banner (if you are driving eastbound on La Palma Ave.) and/or a sign with the words "New Hope Christian Center". Turn in (south) there. Park in the front lot. For the general meeting, go up the stairs in the middle of the building along the parking-lot side. For the weeknight SIGs, go in at the middle on the ground floor and down the hall to your right. Freeway exits: (subject to change due to freeway construction on I-5 and the 91 freeways): 1) North I-5 (from central/south Orange County): the La Palma exit has re-opened. Get off at La Palma and turn left (going west over I-5). The school/church will be on your left side. 2) South I-5 (from Los Angeles): take the Magnolia exit and turn right going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the school/church will be on your right side. 3) West 91 freeway (from the Inland Empire, etc): take the Magnolia exit and turn left going south.
