Reminder! Meeting TONIGHT!!! 11/19 Location: Technocopia, Topic: Jujitsu

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this WEDNESDAY. The fine folks at Technocopia have graciously allowed us to use their space on a non open hack night. Thanks!! Here are the details: Time: 7PM Date: 11/19 Location: Technocopia Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Jujitsu https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/ Fellow WLUGer Evan White is going to do a presentation about Jujitsu. While using the git internals it has a different workflow than the one us daily git users are used to. Evan is going to show off how he uses it and maybe convince a couple of us to give it a try! Afterward we'll head out for dinner and keep the conversation going! Hope to see you there! Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

For the sake of new users, I might suggest 24.04 lts instead of 25.04. Lts release is going to be supported for 7 years as opposed to the 3 years for 25.04.

Signal channel..

by Tim Keller

I've created a signal channel for all of us. Signal has a nice linux desktop client as well. https://signal.group/#CjQKIKlVuif-XKEyM_OE5NlItazdhKRrhXlI_l6aRlYx37T6EhCAK… Currently myself, Jansen and Evan are in it. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
