March Meeting - Free Software LAN Party!
Contributed by: markj | Views::4,801

FRAG! The Thursday March 16 meeting is a free software LAN party!

Note that an earlier version of this announcement said March 17, that was a mistake.

Games will be Doom (PrBoom as the engine, Freedoom as the data), and XPilot. These games were picked for their ability to be usable on older hardware. If you can bring a laptop, please do, but if you don't have one it's okay, PLUG members believe in sharing! Network equipment will be useful too.

Date/time: Thursday March 16th, 2006, 7:30pm. Location: room 2M70 (M=Manitoba building, the boardroom) at the University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Avenue.
