Topics for upcoming meetings...

by Tim Keller

Despite my assertions that I was going to take notes, I didn't. Here's what I remember, feel free to add anything that I've forgotten. 1. Encryption deep dive with my buddy Nick. (I've already spoken to him and he's excited to speak) 2. Setting up an radio station using open source software: Greg. 3. Talk about Open Computer Vision: Tim. 4. Talk about digital currency. ? 5. Logan wanted to speak about something? Have I forgot anything or do people have any more ideas? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] WLUG Meeting TODAY!

by JeffA Maillists

Ugh, I was hoping to make it there this month, but then I had to work a bit late, and as I decided I would just show up late, I 'remembered' that I've got a pretty bad cold right now, and I should probably just stay home so I don't get you guys all sick. :( I wanted to talk about my use of Linux... 1) MythTV Server (a bit old now) 2) Phone Screening system (Raspbery Pi) 3) Video Editing PC (Ubuntu and OpenShot) 4) Various Pi projects... I'm going to be building a pi with a 2.6" touch-screen to be a creston style controller for the projectors at my church... (Ok, it may be a little 'overkill', but it will be a cool/fun project...) Take care, and I hope that I can make the next one - I really enjoy this group, I just find it hard to get there at times... ;-) Jeff Artz On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 3:54 PM, Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> < SRS0=TWgO=KT=mail.wlug.org=wlug-bounces(a)srs.wpi.edu> wrote: > Hey Gang, > > Just a last reminder we've got a meeting today! > > It's in the usual place (WPI Student Center (Mid Century Room (rm 331))) > At the usual time (7pm) > The topic is going to be an open discussion forum. > Snacks and beverages will be provided and we'll saunter down to Tech Pizza > for a follow up discussion. > > Thanks, > Tim. > > -- > I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their > constituents as "consumers". > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > >

Re: [Wlug] Topic for next Meeting?

Chuck, The main problem with tomorrow was that we didn't have a room reserved and I dropped the ball sending out the reminder email. Beyond that on a selfish side note I can't make tomorrow but I can make next Thursday. Thanks, Tim.
