Just a little reminder.

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts, ALE, has multiple ways to keep in touch and
meet with your fellow ALE'ers. Below are the methods listed in order of
the most used.

Please share this info with anyone who may be interested.

ALE Communications
------------------
1) email list from ale.org - sign up here:
http://ale.org/?page_id=5
"ALE General" this is the most important communication method we use.
2) postings on http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/ for
specific meetings.
3) postings on http://ale.org/ - monthly meetings (presentation links)
4) #ale on Freenode - IRC (use any IRC client or there's a
web-front-end) 4 connected accounts right now.
5) email list for Study Groups - http://ale.org/?page_id=5 "ALE Study" -
very low volume.
6) Discussion Groups on
http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/messages/boards/ -
lots of subgroups there - very low volume.


Linux Jobs
----------
If you have or are looking for a Linux job, there are 2 places:
a) email list for Jobs: http://ale.org/?page_id=5 "ALE-Jobs"
b) meetup "Job Postings" discussion:
http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/messages/boards/forum/11057922
I haven't heard if this is working again since last fall.


Physical Meetings
-----------------
There are 3 different sub-groups with physical meetings.
1) ALE-Central - monthly at Decatur Makers
Directions with a map: http://ale.org/?page_id=2

2) ALE-NW - weekly usually at Schlotzsky's on Windy Hill Rd,
easy parking
https://plus.codes/865QWG3M+R93 (no longer at SPSU)

3) ALE-South - weekly usually at Oz Pizza, easy parking
5 West Broad St · Fairburn, GA

Visit http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/ for specifics
about these meetings. Plus.codes can be used with google maps, but the
rectangle resolution is lost.
We also post What-Three-Words locations, W3W, for some meetup events to
reduce confusion over addresses. Some (cough) GPS tools are confused by
some addresses where we meet.


F/LOSS Calendar
---------------
The meetup site has a iCal Calendar with F/LOSS happenings around the
region. http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/events/ -
visit this link to find the CalDAV and iCalendar links for calendaring
programs to know what's happening. Of course, you can also use a web
browser. We attempt to keep Linux and F/LOSS related events in the
calendar; primarily ALE stuff, but related conferences and other group
events too.


Summary
-------
Please sign up for the "ALE General" email list to know what is
happening or any last minute changes to meetings. Sometimes we have to
cancel or move a meeting at the last minute, so if you did not RSVP,
then you may not get notified. Point your favorite RSS reader
at the meetup events and calendar.

Hope to see you out at these events!

Hi,

I am pointing my RSS reader (newsboat) to:
https://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/events/rss
but my RSS reader only shows events up to August 13th.

Is anyone else experiencing this with RSS? I think the normal thing
would be to show the announcements for near future events, not sure if
it's a Meetup.com RSS service issue.

Also, at the bottom of the ale.org website the RSS link is:
https://ale.org/?feed=rss2
which only shows events until May 18th 2018 in my RSS reader.

Please let me know if ALE RSS feed on Meetup is working ok so I can
check my RSS reader settings if that's the case.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Nextcloud News is working with this link:
https://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/events/rss
But it isn't showing any future events. We use automatic recurring
events, that could be why.

I point lightning (calendar addon) at the iCal links to see events. That
is working perfectly. Meetup removes past events from iCal, so if you
are seeing those, then they are local cache versions, probably.

I can't say anything about ale.org, even the monthly meeting
announcements haven't been posted there for some reason. If you'd like
to help, I'm certain it would be appreciated. It is a WP site.
