-==== HOLIDAY - Christmas Day ~ Dec 25th, 2023 ==== 
- 
-==== NEWLINUX - Dec 26th, 2023 ==== 
-// 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. 
-      Usually no presentation;​ so, held as a **Beginner Workshop** offering installation and configuration help. 
-      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. ​ 
-      * Fourth Tuesday of the month. 
-      * Free format, no presentation. Always up to attendance as to what is covered. 
-  * 2023-08-28 Comments for September: None 
-  * 2023-10-02 Comments: None. 
-  * 2023-10-30 Comments for November: 
-    * Again had some difficulty and delay opening up public JITSI session. Also there were frequent drop outs during meeting. 
-    * Made a bookends slide-work for this Beginner Workshop meeting. ​ Bookends working somewhat well with Announcements and main topic of Remote Support. 
-    * Gary went to private home site to assist a low expertise Linux user.  The user was running Linux Mint 19 that was getting End-of-Support notifications. 
-    * One new attendee later wrote that he was having some unreproducible problem signing up for ANNOUNCE mailing list.  Sent him signup nomination. 
-    * Two, and possibly four new attendees ( not sure, because they only would put in first names ). 
-    * Because Gary was providing on site assistance, he wasn't keeping watch on chat room activity.  ​ 
-    * Phil B helped a little bit with chat; but, looking at the recording later, a lot of chat postings seemed to have been missed. 
-    * Frequent attendees Wayne S and Tony C were very helpful with lots of input during the meeting. ​ 
-  * 2023-12-04 Comments: None 
-  * 2024-01-03 Comments: 
-    * Larger than expected turn out for da after Xmas. Phil Bunch ran the meeting because Stan screwed up sound. Only later phoned in. 
-    * Had two female newcomers. Good thing they couldn'​t hear Stan cussing.
