MonadLUG's 12-Oct Meeting: grep and open chat

[Ted Roche]

Eight attendees made it to the monthly meeting of MonadLUG. Bill  
Freeman presented the "Man Page of the Month" on grep. He included  
his notes produced via emacs and muse, which ate the initial dashes  
on some lines and turned them into bullets. A corrected set of notes  
is here:

it was a great overview of the command with some good pointers on  
gotchas, especially the point that grep processes line-by-line, so a  
pattern match over a line boundary will not be seen.

A general discussion followed. Guy Pardoe said he hopes to present  
Joomla next month, should his schedule allow. Discussion of dabo and  
future Python SIG meetings, with some rumblings of some sort of  
"Getting Started" night, was kicked around.

A good time was had by all.

Bill Sconce volunteered to present next month's Man Page of the  
Month. He's a bit divided, so he'll either show more or less.
