Consider not only what the weather will be at the start of the meeting, but at the end when folks are departing. Sometimes you get burned when the predicted weather fails to materialize, but that's life in New England. It beats sleeping all night in The Wedge. ;-) I am looking forward to giving the software defined radio talk to WLUG, and if the meeting is postponed, there is a high likelyhood that I could reschedule with you on some other Thursday evening.

I'm checking meeting room availability and speaker availability (Andy) for next Thursday, Feb 20. I'll post an official update/meeting announcement tomorrow once things are hopefully confirmed.

What's our game plan? I was wondering how much I would need to apologize if I did not show up after enthusiastically endorsing Andy. I would not mind if it happened next week instead. -- Keith

Thursday snow storm? Possible reschedule?

by Tim Keller

The weather people (who are using super computers running linux) are currently claiming that we're going to be getting heavy snow on Thursday night. I don't think WLUG has ever had this scenario... What's our game plan? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next Meeting: Thursday Feb 13 in Harrington Forkey Conference Room

by Chuck Anderson

All meetings for 2014 are scheduled for the 2nd Thursday of each month. So the next one is Feb 13. The location just for this month is different due to a scheduling conflict. This month, the meeting will be held in: Harrington Auditorium, Forkey Conference Room 209 To find this room, go to the northwest end of the Quad, where the new Recreation Center meets Harrington Auditorium. There is an exterior door on the far left front corner of Harrington (not the main doors in the center of the front), just to the right of the stairway that leads down to the new Park Ave Garage. Go in that door, and straight ahead down the hallway leads to the Forkey Conference Room. In fact, you can probably safely park in the visitor's parking spaces around the edge of the Park Ave Garage, and walk up the stairway between Rec Center and Harrington to the Quad level, and the correct door will be around the corner on your left. I would like to see someone talk about Software Defined Radio if there is someone willing... Home backup solutions is always a good topic...

When's the next meeting?!?

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Is the next meeting going to be the 12th or the 13th? Any ideas for topics? Here's a couple that come to mind... 1. An overview of home backup solutions. 2. Software defined radios in linux (gnu radio) 3. ... 4. Profit? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
