Be sure to find and check the box that says: "I understand the risks and want to join the meeting". Sometimes it gets scrolled off the bottom of the screen. The risk seems to be that a fool might also join and say foolish things. I don't really understand the risks, but that button must be checked. -- Keith

Or copy it to a browser if that's how your computer works. You might have to wait for someone to start the meeting and that might not happen exactly at 7. WLUG meetings used to be something I walked to at WPI, now it's a test of video chat. There are volume controls and mute buttons both as part of JitSi and as part of the OS. I find it helpful to listen to a radio station (e.g. [1]) using the headphones and computer before the meeting starts, to test the hardware and find the buttons. I hope it works, both for you and me.

The slides from the talk are now up on the web site, please let me know if you can't find them. And if you have suggestions for how to organize things, please let me know. I'm slowly working on getting the older presentations organized as well. If you have done a recent presentation and don't see it on the site, please drop me an email with your slides or other presentation materials (if any!) and I'll work to get things updated. My goal is to try and be more proactive on these in the future going forward! John
