So I propose that we take initiative to change how our club works and
look towards this new vision. On our meeting on Thursday (when we do
officer elections) we make a bylaw change to our club's name. After
Thursday, we will be known as BUBBLES: Bitcoin Users Building Big Linux
machinE-learning Systems.
Happy April Fools!

LUGgers,
We need a semi-short talk for this Thursday, as officer elections will
be before the talk. LMK if you have a little bit of time and want to
throw one together, otherwise I can just do an old talk!
And if you want to sign up for running for an officer position:

LUGgers,
We need talks for this and next Thursday. I know there's been a request
for me to redo my zsh talk, so I could do that for at least one of them.
Let me know if you want to fill the other (and if so, which Thursday).

Hi LUGgers,
Apologies, I need to make a last minute change to the LUG schedule
tomorrow; I realized that I'm double booked from 6 PM to 7 PM!!
5 PM: Linux help session
6 PM: Dinner arrives: socialize and have food!
~7 PM: Talk begins when I arrive -- apologies!
I know normally we have 6 PM and 7 PM flipped on the schedule...
hopefully you are OK with this going the other way!

First, are you trying to netboot on the school's network, or your own? I
think part of the typical PXE setup requires you to run your own DHCP
server, which might get you an Email from Phil Romig if you tried on the
school's network...
If on your own network, you would need to either setup PXELINUX and
configure it for the mini image (don't know if the config would be
compatible with the one from the tar.gz), or you could try and do
something like this: https://wellsie.net/p/286/
(which I haven't tried, so no idea if it actually works...)
If it's not on your own network, you would need to figure out an
alternative boot solution such as a small USB drive or floppy disk... so
I guess if that's the case, let me/us know and we can figure something
out.

Hi everyone,
This would be on my own network rather than the school's, so no DHCP
concerns there.
Jack, the link you included looks promising, I'll give it a shot!
