Anagramarama

by Dennis Payne

Anagramarama is a game I found on the libre game wiki. I decided to add game achievements to Anagramarama. Since the old website is gone, I've created a new website. I'm currently in the process of adding the package to Fedora. http://identicalsoftware.com/anagramarama/ You can see the achievements at my test site: http://108.49.106.217/game/dulsi/anagramarama -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi

Meeting reminder! August 12th 2021, NOTE: Meeting will be Virtual!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on Thursday August 12th! I'm going to up front say that this is going to be a virtual meeting. As great as having an in person meeting was, I think we should go back to virtual meetings until the whole Delta variant situation shakes out. Feel free to argue, this is wlug after all! Topic: Nothing decided yet. Feel free to step up to the plate if you've got something interesting. Otherwise, expect the usual nerd banter! Time: 7pm Location: The usual Jitsi location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I think the BBQ would be a great idea! I'd also like to thank Josh for stepping up and getting the room at the Hudson public library! Later, Tim.

Re: Hosting in-person meetings at library

by Joel

I won't make July or August meetings due to being out of the Worcester area. I like the Hudson Library idea. Also like the idea of possibly it moving around to different locations idea. I can see WLUG meeting at different libraries, coffee houses or brew pubs around central MA. A bit like the 70's Kung Fu TV series. Roaming the area with only our highly tuned Linux skills and spiritual training as a Shaolin Monk...
