Free Software Club of Kirksville

Welcome!

FSCK welcomes you to our community, a (very friendly) group of free software users that you can seek for help and help people in using and promoting free software (no matter you're using Windows or Linux). Needless to say, we have the best persons with knowledge on computer software out there in Kirksville :-). To know what's so great about free software, you can go here.

What's new on FSCK?

Ubuntu 8.04. Awesome!

The popular and friendly Ubuntu 8.04 is finally arrived!

Dr. Don: Don't forget to check talc.truman.edu before burning up a bunch of Truman bandwidth.

InstallFest and Unconference

On Mar 3, Jason Novinger wrote:

Hey all,

I meant to talk about this at the meeting, but the list may be a
better medium anyway.

Last semester FSCK sponsored/hosted two events: an InstallFest and a
new event, the first FSCK Unconference.  Both, in my humble opinion,
were fairly successful, if the amount of pizza consumed is an
indicator.

So, that being said, I would like to do both events again this
semester.  Hopefully, we can get a discussion going and settle on some
dates.  So here is a list of weekends left in the semester:

  * March 8 (this weekend, weekend before Spring Break)
  * March 15 (weekend after Spring Break)
  * March 22
  * March 29
  * April 5 (Surplus Auction at 9a!)
  * April 12includes/fsck_foot
  * April 19
  * April 26
  * May 3 (weekend before finals)

Now, obviously 5/3 is out.  Similarly I think 3/8 and 3/15 are out
(time constraint and Spring Break).  Also, I don't think competing
with the auction on 4/5 is a great idea either.

So, throw some dates out there.  We can check them against the
University Calendar at  to see if they conflict with something else.

Alright, let's here some ideas.

Stuff that matters
