Welcome to the

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts

Promoting Linux in Atlanta Since 1994

The Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (ALE) are a growing group of people in the Atlanta metropolitan area who all share an interest in Linux.

Founded in December 1994, we have hosted a plethora of monthly meetings with talk topics ranging from "How to Configure PPP" to "How to Write Device Drivers". We usually have around 40 - 100 people at each meeting.

The ALE group is loosely organized, with a few people acting as contact points and no charter to bog things down. Anyone is welcome to come to the meetings; there is no membership, fees or any other formalities. To become a member, just show up. Our primary interest is in getting information about Linux to members of the Atlanta community.

ALE has three monthly meetings to accomodate the growing Linux Enthusiast population of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Central meeting is held at Emory University on the second Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthEast meeting is held at Edeltacom Data Center on the first Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthWest meets the third Thursday at the Weather Channel. Directions are on the left sidebar.

ALE CENTRAL MEETING for 7:30pm Thurs., March 9, 2006

Filed at 9:12 pm under ALE Central and Announcements by Ruscetta

For the March, 2006 Central meeting Mr. Dennis Boylan will be
presenting his quasi-annual “State of the TiVo” address, keeping
us up to date on the latest developments and hacks for the Linux
based TiVo media technology.

Dennis is a long standing member of ALE who has been active in
supporting the ALE NE meeting since it’s inception. His knowledge
of Linux and networking is extensive and he regularly presents for
ALE meetings on a broad array of topics. His greatest “super geek”
distraction, however, is the TiVo, and with 6 different TiVo
models in his home he can clearly be classified as a TiVo-holic.
