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.

The ALE Central presentation for
Thursday, Jan 11th will be:

“Linux Geek Gadgets Gone Gonzo:
The Nokia N800″

Enjoy an early ogling of the latest geek crack to hit the streets…
the Linux based Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Announced just this
past Monday morning at CES, the Nokia N800 is the successor to
the popular linux based Nokia 770. Somehow, one happened to
magically appear in the hands of our presenter, Marc Torres.

The presentation will start with an overview of what makes this
internet tablet tick and how the 800 differs from its 770 predecessor.
Then Marc will demonstrate its always connected abilities and the
range of applications available.
