Cryptoparty in Worcester on Sun. Mar 22
by Steve Revilak
Hello Worcester Linux Users Group! My name is Steve and I'm a Linux
user who lives in the Boston Area. I'm helping to organize a
Cryptoparty at the Worcester Public Library, and I wanted to extend an
invitation to WLUG members.
The cryptoparty is this Sunday 3/22 from 2pm - 4pm, and we plan to
cover Jitsi and GnuPG. The WPL is located at 3 Salem Street,
Worcester, and we'll be meeting in the Banx room.
Hope to see you Sunday.

Great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller
What a great meeting last night! Chuck did a great presentation showing
off several different model Pi's plus demoing their use as squeeze box
remote media players. He also started to show off the MAME and DVR/MythTV
stuff but we all got distracted. I think that could merit a meeting topic
all by itself!
We had a great show and tell of pi devices. The coolest being the homemade
pi based wifi enabled security camera (with infrared LEDs!)
To cap the night we ended doing a mini install fest on a "classic" Sony
Vaio!
Thanks everybody!
Tim.

Tim,
Do you have a link to that graphics package you were talking about?
The one where you just throw data at it and check it once in a while.
Thanks,

Keith, thank you for the directions. The guy at the
information booth was aware of the WLUG meeting.

The West Street lot was wide open. I didn't bother to get
a pass from security, but I doubt they care much at that hour.
I enjoyed seeing all the Raspbery Pi projects. I'll try
and make it to some more meetings this year.
Best,

I haven't been to a WLUG meeting in ages. Is it still in the same
building in the southwest corner of the quad? The floorplan link is
dead,
http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/CC/Floorplans/37678.htm
Is there parking available in the West Street lot?
Will there be WiFi and/or ethernet available for the Pis? Keyboard?
HDMI monitor?

REMINDER!! Meeting TONIGHT! March 12th, 2015!
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
This is a reminder that tonight is WLUG!
We'll be talking about the Raspberry Pi like devices that are now on the
market and the amazing stuff we can do with them.
Chuck is going to bring along a Pi like device to show off how open
hardware helps speed along the innovation curve!
We'll be meeting in the usual spot, the Mid-Century Room (rm-331) at 7pm.
I'll bring along snacks and drinks and afterwards we'll go out for pizza!
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.

March Meeting Reminder!!!! Thursday March 12th 2015 at 7pm in the Mid Century Room (rm 331)
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody!
This Thursday (March 12th) we've got our monthly WLUG meeting! Same bat
time, same bat channel!
This month we're going to be talking about the Raspberry Pi. It's come
along way since the "A" model has come out! Also because the Pi is open
lots of compatible Pi like devices have come on the market as well.
Chuck has offered to show off his ODROID-C1
<http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php>
I'll bring along my Pi and the GPIO stuff.
If you've got a Pi, bring it along and we can talk shop and swap ideas!
Per our standard convention I'll bring along the soda and chips and
afterwards we'll continue to conversation while stuffing ourselves with
Tech Pizza.
Later,
Tim.
