Hey Everyone!

We have some exciting things going on at the LUG in the near future with our friends at GoRack colo.  

Meetings will be moved to the GoRack facility at 421 W Church St datacenter starting in February, and LugLANs are going to be started back up there as well.  Big things are in store for us in the future with these guys.

With our enthusiastic new hosts there come many advantages:

- A much larger facility that has many places for us to do more events such as advanced groups, LUSH meetups and LugLANs

- Private guarded parking lot right next to the facility

- Dedicated LAN connection for meetings as well as wifi access

- Ability to spin up VMs or have physical servers brought in for LUG usage

- No need to surrender ID, easier to enter facility

- Large selection of LUSH areas, including inside the facility in the near vicinity

GoRack is extremely excited to work with us in the future to grow and expand the LUG and we are excited to have a great partner that not only hosts our website currently, but will be a boon to us in the future.  GoRack is a great place to host something on your own, check out their site at http://www.gorack.net/

A big shout-out to TierPoint (previously CXP) for hosting us this last year and a half, we really appreciate it and you guys are awesome! If anyone has colo needs, Tierpoint has a great facility here in Jacksonville and have graciously hosted us for quite a while. http://www.tierpoint.com/

Also, tomorrow is the 2600 meeting that many of us go to, I encourage you to come down and hang out with us!  It is at Kickbacks Gastropub down off King and College St from 6:30p to late.
