Linux rebotics??
by Ken Jones July 20, 2010

July 20, 2010

Are you all aware of any robot clubs in eastern Massachusetts. I am interested in robots in general, but even more interested in Linux robotics. Are there any break through products you know about? I have not searched the web. This email is a spur of the moment action. Ken

PC to Home Stereo Solution
by Gary Hanley July 9, 2010

July 9, 2010

Is it me or is there no good solution to streaming your OGG and FLAC music files to your home stereo from Linux. Even the Windows solutions seem sparse and are usually proprietary. I have wanted to do this for a long time and every time I start googling for a solution I come up empty. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would appreciate your comments. Thanks, and Happy 4th! -- Gary

Grub and E-Waste
by ted June 26, 2010

June 26, 2010

Two somewhat related questions. I went to a USB keyboard after my PS keyboard broke. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. How do I get GRUB to recognize the keyboard? Second, where do I get rid of the broken keyboard? Does Worcester have an E-Waste recycling center? Thanks. Ted

RFC: WLUG BBQ July/August timeframe
by Chuck Anderson June 25, 2010

June 25, 2010

I neglected to bring up this topic at our last meeting. We usually have a WLUG summer BBQ around July or August, so I'd like to get the planning discussion going now. Are people interested in having a BBQ this year, and if so, would someone be willing to host it? WLUG should enough in the bank to fund the food (Andy can you confirm?), so all we need is a place with a BBQ grill and a time. Comments? Ideas? -Chuck

Converting VSAM files

Hi: I have a project in which I need to migrate some data stored in VSAM files to a relational database (mssql). I am wondering if anyone has had experience with extracting data from a VSAM file to a flat file. If so what tools would you recommend to make this happen. tia, Mike
