The DeVry classrooms are in a very cool building at the corner of Greenwood Plaza Blvd and Fiddler’s Green Cr. Greenwood Plaza is the light just west of I-25 on Orchard (the map makes it look like Syracuse Way, but it’s Greenwood Plaza–bear left at the first light south of Orchard).

Please park in the regular spots (not the visitors’ spots) in the parking garage to the east of the building. You can stop to unload on the circle between the building and the parking garage. Then please go around to the opposite side of the garage (the east side) to park. If the gates are down the code is 1111#.

We’ll be in room 117 in the east wing, to the left as you enter the atrium.

The atrium doors will close at about 1pm. If you arrive after that you can call Dave at 720-490-9901.
Logistics:

* Monitors, keyboards, mice, network cables, and power will be available, as well as both wired and wireless network access.
* If you have a PS2 to USB or USB to PS2 adapter you might bring it. The mice/keyboards might not match what your machine needs.
* If you have a 3′ – 6′ patch cable (CAT 5 with RJ-45 plugs) you might bring it. Some of the DeVry cables are very short and might not reach your box.
* Distros to be provided for others to copy include recent versions of SuSE, Fedora, Knoppix, *buntu, and Debian. Others can be provided upon request (please contact Dave Anselmi … if I can find it, I will attempt to bring it).

No food or drink (other than in capped bottles) is permitted in the lab. There is a student commons just down the corridor, so if you want to bring a lunch, or order out, you can eat there. We may order pizza if there’s enough interest.

If you want help with a specific issue please post it to the CLUE-Tech mailing list so we know whether anyone can help you. We might also be able to suggest preparation you can do or things to bring to make it easier to get you taken care of.

If you’re an experienced hand at Linux, this is a great opportunity to help others get their Linux boxen up and running. If you are new to Linux this is a great opportunity to leave with a working box you can experiment with at home. If you’re in between, surely you need a few hours alone with your computer to get a project done, right?

For more information, contact Dave Anselmi.

All GNU/linux distributions are welcome (Ubuntu is recommended for new users). Bring your computer and an install CD/DVD if you have it. A limited number of install disks will be available on-site. If possible, bring your own power bar, as there can never be too many.

Those needing help and those offering help are both welcome.
