Anyone in Jacksonville

[doondoon]

Me and a couple of my co-workers have recently made the switch from Windows. I was wondering if there were any members in Jax. We are still fairly new to linux in general and could probably benefit from a local or nearby group meeting place.

We have a couple of members in Jacksonville. I recommend you join the mailing list ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-us-fl ) if you have any questions. You can also join us in IRC in #ubuntu-us-fl. JaxLUG (http://www.jaxlug.org) is also a very good resource. They have their own mailing list and local meetings.

Welcome to the community!

Dan's right, join the mailing list and check out the meetings. But,to answer your question, I'm from Jax. From what I understand the JaxLUG (Linux User Group) isn't a bad scene, but I can only speak from hearsay.

The majority of community involvement I have is from school (ITT Tech) and from conferences (the recent Florida Linux Show, Defcon, Phreaknic, etc) though the LoCos seem like a killer scene to be a part of as well. Info on the IRC meetings can be found here and are a great way to get involved.

Drop a line on the mailing list or PM me anytime, Glad to see some local users.

Hello!

I'm relatively new as well. I'm also in the Jacksonville area. I've never been to the JaxLUG meetings before, but I've heard good things about them too...

It's good to see other Jax people on here!

Hey,
I'm from the Jacksonville area, and currently attending FCCJ, mainly Kent Campus. I'm proud to say all of the computers in my home (2 laptops, a desktop, and a home server) are all running Ubuntu as of this past December. Feel free to drop me a line if anyones arranging a meeting or something. I've just subscribed to the mailing list.

I just installed Ubuntu Linux on one of my four computers to see how it does. This was on thursday, June 26, 2008, and so far it is OUTSTANDING!!!!

If this keeps up, I will switch from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux on all my machines and recommend it to everyone.

Is that a meeting time/place?

I'm in Actionville. I've been to a couple of the JaxLUg meetings, and they're pretty cool. The two presentations that I've seen have been great. One on Xen, and the last one was on augmented reality. Informative to say the least.
