HI Everybody,
Our next WLUG meeting will be held on Thurs. Jan 15th at 7:00 PM in the Access
Grid room on the WPI campus.
WLUG member Chuck Anderson will talk to us about using PGP. In his words:
So, I guess I could whip up a summary of what I have learned to
give a brief overview of what PGP is, how/why to use it...

>From that website:
PGP® or Pretty Good Privacy® is a powerful cryptographic product
family that enables people to securely exchange messages, and to
secure files, disk volumes and network connections with both privacy
and strong authentication.

Hi Everybody,
Unfortunately, I received no responses to my query about finding a speaker to
talk about digital signatures on e-mail. If you have expertise in this area
and would like to address WLUG at the January meeting, please contact me
ASAP. Thanks!
Plan B: there is no plan B.
Have you any thoughts ? Really, what we need is a volunteer. OK, I'll stoop
to bribery - if you speak at a WLUG meeting (especially the January meeting),
we'll buy you pizza/beer at the Boynton Restaurant after the meeting. How's
that sound ? :-)
Thanks!

HI Everybody,
Are there any GnomeMeeting users out there ?
I just bought a webcam and would like to try this out. If somebody wants to
do an experiment, let me know! I'd like to test both video and audio as well
as the text chat capability.

Holiday cheer would be facilitated greatly if I were able to find a
802.11g wireless card that works with linux. Does anyone in the group
have any experience or insight regarding 802.11g and linux
compatibility?
Happy Holidays!

I haven't used Lindows 4.0, but I did notice a
review over on unixreview.com:

Hi everybody,
Please note that I just rescheduled a bunch of the meetings for calendar year
2004. Please check the WLUG website for more information. Please accept my
apologies for scheduling two Wednesday meetings for consecutive months. I am
scheduling around my commitment to teach a Linux course for the Adult
Education program in Chelmsford, MA.
A note about the December 2003 meeting: This meeting was well attended, with
at least 30 people present to watch the "Revolution OS" DVD. Many thanks for
your generous donations to help defray the cost of the raffle items (we broke
even *and* set a WLUG record of $58.50!), and to Chuck Anderson for his help
with the projection system. It was nice to see some faces of people who
occasionally attend meetings in addition to the "regulars" and a few newbies.
With regard to the January 2004 meeting, there was an interesting discussion
on the WLUG mailing list recently about digital signatures and e-mail. I
would like to know if there are any volunteers who would like to do a
presentation on this topic. If so, please send me an e-mail. Here are some
ideas which came to mind:
- how to create your own digital signature (and why)
- how to get your friend's digital signature and be sure it is authentic
- how to configure (pick a mail client) for use with digital signatures
- verifying a digitally signed e-mail
- other related ideas?
Finally, if you are unfamiliar with this comic strip, take a look. Its pretty
amusing:

Happy holidays!
