I know Houston Linux Users Group is meeting, as is Houston Perl Mongers. Any of the others holding meetings?

As we finish our free classes on JavaScript, we're trying to plan ahead to see what others want to learn (ie., more totally free classes with free pizza and free cokes).

Is there demand out there for React and Angular? Do we have demand out there for Python? Are people wanting to learn basic Linux Administration?

Give us some input in the comments.

**Javascript classes aren't over yet, [we've got another one Wednesday](

I'm not sure if I'm going, but I figured I should crosspost it. Attendance is free, but they'll be selling t-shirts, raffle tickets (mech keyboards and other prizes), and there will be a number of sellers present.

A group of members from the Houston Linux Users Group have splintered to create the Houston Open Source Society (HOSS).

• The HOSS will be a vibrant unincorporated collective of hackers, programmers, open-source enthusiasts, and passionate users. The HOSS does not demand assimilation: that’s Borg stuff, and they’re two doors down.
• The HOSS is committed to remaining a flat organization without hierarchy. There will be neither waterboarding, nor Board of Directoring. There will be no President.
