OCF Staff Orientation Meeting at Thursday, Feb 29, 7pm in 204 Wheeler. If you're interested in gaining useful systems administration experience, come to this meeting and look into joining OCF staff. The OCF runs Sun, Linux and Windows 2000, and has one of the largest userbases on campus, and has been run by student vollunteers since it was created in 1989! It's a fun and lively community, and many of our former staffers have gone on to find lucrative work in the IT industry. The notes are now online, you can click on the topic heading above too. The OCF Lab is busy at this hour, so I'll arrange a classroom to meet in for next week and the rest of the semester. Check back here for more information. According to my sign-in sheet, we have 5 people enrolling, and 8 others auditing. Auditors are welcome, but if anyone forgot to give me their SID on the course sign-in sheet, please email me so I know that you're actually signed up. Likewise, if you signed in, but forgot to have Wayne or I sign your add-form, email me and we can arrange a time or just do it next week.
We're considering running the course on a mostly self-paced basis, with as much or as little instructor time as the students require. Progress and grading will be measured by homework. If you're interested in learning how to run a webserver, or simply in how to administer a unix system, I welcome you to mail me for the course control numbers. If you need my signiture to sign up before the end of the 5th week of classes (if you're an engineering, chemistry or optometry major, I think your colleges don't accept changes to your schedule after the end of the 5th week of classes) you can meet with me today (Friday) between 11-12 when I'll be in the OCF lab. If that doesn't work out for you, email me to arrange a meeting before 3:30 (i believe the offices close at 4). If it's not urgent, you can get your form signed at the first class meeting next wednesday! -Devin |
