UNIGROUP GENERAL MEETING
MEETING INTRODUCTION
Unigroup's November 2016 meeting will be a Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 7.3 Release Meeting, with Red Hat presenting. This is a very timely meeting since RHEL 7.3 was released about 2 weeks ago, on 03-NOV-2016. Other topics related to RHEL/CentOS/Fedora Linux may also be discussed. Also note that if you have interest in CentOS, RHEL 7.3 will be the basis for a future CentOS 7.3 release.
Our planned November 2016 WiFi talk had to be postponed due to speaker unavailability. We are very pleased to announce that one of our contacts from the local NYC Red Hat Team is able to fill in as a replacement speaker for this meeting (and on very little notice too).

GIVEAWAYS
Addison-Wesley Professional/Prentice Hall PTR/Pearson, and O'Reilly have been kind enough to provide us with review copies of some of their books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our meetings. The publishers always ask that the persons receiving the books provide a review and/or feedback about their books.
Unigroup would like to thank both publishing companies for the support provided by their User Group programs.
As always, all of the books will be available for review at the start of the meeting.
Note: Our book supply is currently running low, and we need to restock.
FEE SCHEDULE
Unigroup is a Professional Technical Organization and User Group, and its members pay a yearly membership fee. For Unigroup members, there is usually no additional charges (ie. no meeting fees) during their membership year. Non-members who wish to attend Unigroup meetings are usually required to pay a "Single Meeting Fee".
Yearly Membership (includes all meetings): $ 50.00
Student Yearly Membership (with current! ID): $ 25.00
Non-Member Single Meeting: $ 20.00
Non-Member Student Single Meeting (with! ID): $ 5.00
* Payment Methods: Cash, Check, American Express.
MasterCard, VISA, Discover (since 2013).
! Students: We are looking for proof that you are
currently enrolled in classes (rather than working
full-time), and as such, your Student ID should show
a CURRENT date. We have been presented Student IDs
containing NO dates whatsoever, and in the
current environment, perpetual/non-expiring access
to university facilities just does not feel right.
If your ID contains no date, please bring
additional proof of current enrollment. Thanks.
NOTE: Simply receiving Unigroup Email Announcements does NOT indicate membership in Unigroup.
Members: Remember to bring your membership card with you to the meeting, to confirm your yearly renewal date!
FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS
Complimentary Food and Refreshments will be served. This includes "wraps" such as turkey, roast beef, chicken, tuna and grilled vegetables as well as assorted salads (potato, tossed, pasta, etc), cookies, brownies, bottled water and assorted beverages.
Our thanks go to Red Hat for sponsoring the food service for this meeting!
Please join us for this meeting, you won't want to miss it!
