-// SUMMARY: ​ 
-      Previously named Hazelwood LUG (HZWLUG), then Newcomer LUG (NEWLUG). ​ Now, Newcomer Linux User Group is designated as NEWLINUX. 
-      The NEWLINUX home page lists a number of topics to provide general directions from which we could start. 
-      Topics are usually determined by attendees. ​ We usually cover way more than one topic. 
-// 
-  * [[http://​newlug.sluug.org |NEWLUG]] was how we named our Linux Users Group (LUG) for Linux Newcomers. ​ 
-      * [[http://​newlinux.org |NEWLINUX]] is name that we can frequently use for our Newcomer Linux Users Group. ​ 
-  * 2022-08-01 Comments: Future use of library rooms will be reviewed monthly. 
-  * 2022-09-07 Comments: Already cancelled September room reservation,​ may go ahead and cancel next few months ahead.

-====== Meeting Schedule ====== 
-// SUMMARY: **This is where we discuss available and confirmed meeting topics.** // 
-// GOAL:    ** To map out meeting topics for as much as 3 months out.** // 
-    * ** No physical face-to-face meetings until further notice.** 
-    * ** When we again have physical meetings, we would like to continue video meetings in conjunction with any physical meetings.** 
-    * We try to track prospects to give presentations at our SLUUG General (SLUUG) meeting and LINUX (STLLINUX) meetings. 
-    * We try to segregate topic types as either **BASE, MAIN or LINUX,** with BASE and MAIN given at the General meeting (SLUUG) . 
-    * * *BASE* topics should be oriented toward simpler Personal Computing. Usually given as General meeting (SLUUG). Short is good. 
-      * *BASE* Something fundamental,​ introductory,​ instructive or simple. 
-    * * *MAIN* topics should be oriented more toward advanced or Professional Computing. Usually given at General meeting (SLUUG). 
-      * *MAIN* Something more advanced, detailed, important, profound, new, significant,​ timely or useful. ​ 
-    * * *LINUX* topics often could be either at the General meeting or at the St. Louis Linux Users Group (STLLINUX) meetings. 
-    * We want to have alternative (secondary) topic on hand if primary speaker doesn'​t show.  
-    * Gary will continue to explore different computer manufacturers (ex: Cray) who might be able to do presentation "Where are they now?"

 +====== Meeting Schedule ======
 +// SUMMARY: **This is where we discuss available and confirmed meeting topics.** //
 +// GOAL:    ** To map out meeting topics for as much as 3 months out.** //
 +    * ** No physical face-to-face meetings until further notice.**
 +    * ** When we again have physical meetings, we would like to continue video meetings in conjunction with any physical meetings.**
 +    * We try to track prospects to give presentations at our SLUUG General (SLUUG) meeting and LINUX (STLLINUX) meetings.
 +    * We try to segregate topic types as either **BASE, MAIN or LINUX,** with BASE and MAIN given at the General meeting (SLUUG) .
 +    * * *BASE* topics should be oriented toward simpler Personal Computing. Usually given as General meeting (SLUUG). Short is good.
 +      * *BASE* Something fundamental,​ introductory,​ instructive or simple.
 +    * * *MAIN* topics should be oriented more toward advanced or Professional Computing. Usually given at General meeting (SLUUG).
 +      * *MAIN* Something more advanced, detailed, important, profound, new, significant,​ timely or useful. ​
 +    * * *LINUX* topics often could be either at the General meeting or at the St. Louis Linux Users Group (STLLINUX) meetings.
 +    * We want to have alternative (secondary) topic on hand if primary speaker doesn'​t show. 
 +    * Gary will continue to explore different computer manufacturers (ex: Cray) who might be able to do presentation "Where are they now?"
