Hey all,
I've learned that the library in my town is open to the public for
hosting club meetings! More info:
https://hudsonpubliclibrary.com/
Some of the benefits I can think of for having meetings at the library
include:
- Free hosting
- Free public wifi
- Free on-site parking
- Low noise levels
- Projector and whiteboard are available
- Books, music, movies, etc, are available for checking out
(https://bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/home)
- Adjacent to many restaurants, most having outdoor seating
- Has EV charging stations nearby
- Access to well-maintained walking trails and public parks
Cons:
- Conference room capacity is capped at 10 occupants
- Meetings must end 15 minutes before library's closing time, so would
have to end at 8:15PM
- Many restaurants might be closed by 9PM
I could imagine going back to our usual monthly meetings, from 7:00PM
to 8:15PM on Thursdays, then walking over to one of the restaurants
next door for food and drinks. I can personally vouch for these local
establishments, all reachable within a 5 minute walk:

What do you think?

Hey everyone,
Thank you for another awesome meetup! It was nice to make that first step
of transitioning back to normal. I hope I was able to make a good
impression of Hudson!
I'm interested to see what everyone would like to do for the next meeting,
as well as discuss where to hold our next meeting!

I am not in MA today, but I am very interested to attend future meetings in Hudson as I live very close to there.

Subject: [WLUG] Re: Hosting in-person meetings at library
I think it's a great idea!
Speaking with the Technopia folks, they're interested in having us, but it sounds like it would happen in the Sept. time frame, I'd like to have a couple in person meetings before that.
Is this something people would be interested in doing tomorrow?
Thanks,
Tim.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey everybody:
A friend asked me about VPNs and I don't know a whole lot lot on the
topic. They have a Windows computer and are using a McAfee VPN. The
question is, is this a decent product, should they use it or not or
consider something else?
regards,
Ron
Hey Gang,
I just got back from vacation. We're going to have our meeting next week
instead.
Later,
Tim.
