Come by and stump us, or learn how to finally get your Apache rewrites working. We’re happy to help new linux users with their desktops and laptops, as well as admins with system issues. Please note that we cannot guarantee that we’ll solve your issue. We just guarantee that we’re awesome, we’re hilarious, and your donation will be put to good use supporting Alpha One Labs.

This Saturday, March 4, will feature Nada and David. Nada has extensive RHEL/Fedora experience and some Solaris experience. She’s familiar with LAMP administration and running a number of popular applications, like WordPress, Confluence, Tomcat, etc. She can help you debug postfix errors or help you write useful cron jobs. She also has coding experience java, perl, php, and c. David brings extensive experience on a variety of platforms, including your favorite, FreeBSD.

• Sunday 2pm – 4pm Lockpicking 101 – FREE: Learn how to pick commonly used locks (for educational purposes only).
• Sunday 2pm – 5pm Reprap meetup – Bring your own RepRap or help us build Alpha One Labs’ famous Mendel twins.

At this kickoff meeting, we’ll be discussing such questions as:

• Will we be reading Sipser’s Introduction to Computational Theory, or another book? (See this earlier post for other ideas.) If so, will we use the “International Edition”?
• Will we be meeting Saturdays, 4pm-7pm?
• How intensive will the meetings be? Will there be – gasp! – homework?

If you can’t make the kickoff but would still like to participate, please email Nada (nada at alphaonelabs.com). The kickoff will allow us to get to know each other and finalize our decisions. The first meeting will be post-Shmoocon, either Saturday February 13th or February 20th, allowing everyone time to get the book and start leafing through it.

The event is sponsored by Alpha One, but you don’t need to be a member to participate. (There is a $5 suggested donation for non-members, to help cover the costs of the space.) However, if you’re interested in this study group, it’s a safe bet that you might also be interested in a membership.

1) Interactive laser game sponsored by Lit Studios.

2) Complimentary light up drinks.
