-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'll bring my laptop, and I'm sure a few other folks will bring their laptops also. We are fortunate that at least one, and often two, WPI network engineers attend the meeting, so I don't think getting on the internet will be a real problem as long as at least one of them is in attendance. Trouble making question: why would someone assume the presence of Windows at a *Linux* meeting?! Clearly, you're new here. We use TSA style security to insure that nobody brings Windows into the meeting area. ;-) See ya later this evening, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJePCVHl0iXDssISsRAvy9AJ9V27y+L2Omb0eKgvllsqmzcjls8ACfa9RC 4i62+H+cC6CAdbMb353GLIQ= =bHK5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

WLUG demos...

by John Stoffel

I know I haven't been ot a meeting in a *long* time, but I do hope to make one this spring if I can. Right now I'm playing with Arduino controller boards on my Ubuntu desktop. Fun blinky LEDs, etc. http://arduino.cc http://www.ladyada.com (where I got my parts) http://www.sparkfun.com http://www.evilmadscientist.com (lots of neat stuff) And loads of others in google. It's pretty neat to play with, and it's interesting moving from the IDE (which has a sucky editor) to a more pure Emacs/Makefile driven setup. I figure maybe I could come and demo this at some point. Any interest? Loosely Linux related, since I'll be using an Ubuntu LiveCD and thumb drive to setup and demo the environment. John

Nope, but it seems like about once a month, someone tries to integrate them. :) If you use MythTV, it's pretty trivial to get those videos into Miro and vice-versa. They just can't share metadata. >>>>> "kstratton" == kstratton <kstratton(a)fastmail.us> writes: kstratton> Looks interesting.

Looks interesting. I have never made ot to a meeting, but I still want to ask this question. How is Miro related to Myth TV?

I need internet to demo Miro. Last time I checked, it took a lot of jumping through hoops to get a random computer on the WPI network. Is that still true? >>>>> "Chuck" == Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> writes: Chuck> Don't you have a laptop?

What kind of computer will be there? I'm going to assume it's Windows. :) The meetings are in the lower wedge? I'll try to be there around 6:30.
