To submit content send an email to one of the contacts listed to the right. We are always looking for useful and interesting articles.
Group Mailing list will keep you posted on meeting topics and on information that people have found in their GNU/Linux adventures.
Additional resources, the great thing about GNU/Linux is that there are answers to nearly every question:
Austin Linux Enthusiasts is about twenty people who meet every Wednesday night, from 7:15 pm to 10:00 pm (or later), at Tek Republik, a computer shop and gaming center. Come as early or as late as you like...
(see "NEW" directions above)
Our goal is helping and teaching people about GNU/Linux, and often computers in general.
You can come to a meeting and try out GNU/Linux on some of our computers, or you can bring your own computer. ALEians (as we call ourselves) bring computers to the meeting regularly; we have power cords and an internet (wired/wireless) connection.
Other Linux user groups in Austin have good "lecture and discussion" type meetings, but our group is different in that we provide hands-on tutorial style help, and tinker together.
Our general format is to announce a particular topic on the mailing list , and sometimes have a short (15 to 45 minute) talk on it, followed by trying things out. If you have specific questions about GNU/Linux, please feel free to ask. There are usually plenty of us who are willing to share information. People are encouraged to join in on any “discussions” and participate in whatever way they feel comfortable.
Drinks and snacks are available for purchase during the meeting.
If you are interested in the group, all you have to do is show up. There are no dues to pay. If you join our mailing list you will be able to ask questions and be notified should a meeting be canceled.

The current points of contact for this web page are Les and Rob, but it's probably better to simply join the yahoo group listed above and send email to that list.
