Howdy, == Linux Workshop == Following on from the highly successful Linux Install Workshop ran during Tech Week, Redbrick Helpdesk will be running a followup workshop this week. At the workshop they'll be going over basic stuff like setting up your internet connection and installing new programs as well as some more advanced things too. The workshop takes place in the Seminar room upstairs in the Hub at 6pm on Tuesday. On a side note, there was a laptop bag lost at the first workshop, so if anyone found it, please let us know by emailing receive(a)redbrick.dcu.ie. == Cinema Trip == This Thursday at 8.40pm, we'll be going to see Semi-Pro in Cineworld. We'll be meeting at 7.30 in the Hub beforehand and Redbrick will be paying for everyone's tickets, so be sure to join us :) == Treasurer Position == Redbrick's Treasurer was deemed to have resigned this week in accordance with the constitution after not attending the last 4+ committee meetings. Treasurering duties will be handled by the rest of the committee for the remainder of this semester. == Football == Monday night football is on as always tonight at 6pm and we'll be meeting in the Hub before if you'd like to take part. Please do, football is fun! That's all for this week o/ Kev Redbrick Secretary
