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.

I'll be bringing my Pi A+ plus my cobbler and some circuit stuff. Jamie, because of the snow parking will be a creative exercise... the lot that's on the corner of Institute and the road that goes down to tech pizza is always open. Keith: Rest up and recuperate!

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?

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

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

That would be awesome! I can bring along my pi and my automatic Christmas waterer as well, so people can see what the gpio stuff looks like.

I just got a Raspberry Pi 2 in a few days ago...

I could bring my ODROID-C1 in, which is similar to Raspberry Pi 2, but with some extra features. We might even have a Raspberry Pi 2 to bring in to compare with. I just upgraded my FreeNAS and loaded the newest Logitech Media Server onto it. I've been reading about how you can run LMS, SqueezeBox emulator clients, and AirPlay-compatible servers on RPi, ODROID, etc. Perhaps I could demo something along those lines. LMS + SqueezeLite allows you to create a whole-house synchronized audio system with multiple listening points over Wi-Fi or ethernet (or each client can stream different things).
