What we're about
The Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (formerly GA 400 Linux Group) was been started to allow the casual to advanced Linux users to get together and share ideas, knowledge, and face-time with other Linux users. We're focused on helping beginning and returning Linux users learn the basics by establishing a solid foundation. We'll discuss distributions, file systems and storage, installation, databases, networking, and more!
Please visit the http://ale.org website and join the email lists (http://ale.org/?page_id=5) there based on your interests.
This website will be used primarily for event notices, discussion lists and calendaring.
Definitely sign up to the general ALE email list if you want to stay in the know about ALE. You may want to filter email.
If you want immediate help with an issue, both the email lists AND our IRC channel at freenode #ale (https://webchat.freenode.net/) are good places to ask for help.
Upcoming events (4+)
A practical group for assistance with installation, administration, or just about any question related to Linux.
Each week there will be an online event. Sometimes if Covid case numbers are low in Cobb County, Georgia there may also be a parallel in-person event called "NW Weekly Linux Help Session (in-person)."
The online meeting takes place on Jitsi; assistance is provided via screen-sharing.
The in-person group monitors the Jitsi meeting while simultaneously addressing other issues hands-on in groups of two or three.
Please check each week's Meetup event notices to see if we'll be meeting in-person as well as online. Then RSVP to the appropriate event so we have an idea of how many people will be joining us, but only if you are 95% certain of attendance.

A practical group for assistance with installation, administration, or just about any question related to Linux. Attendees set the agenda. Those with questions or problems speak up and the group addresses them one at a time. If no one has an issue then participants may demo a distribution or technique.
If there's interest we can work through a HowToForge tutorial together. Feel free to post the URL for a tutorial you'd like for the team to use (must be from https://www.howtoforge.com/) and the crowd choice wins.
