Great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller March 13, 2015

March 13, 2015

What a great meeting last night! Chuck did a great presentation showing off several different model Pi's plus demoing their use as squeeze box remote media players. He also started to show off the MAME and DVR/MythTV stuff but we all got distracted. I think that could merit a meeting topic all by itself! We had a great show and tell of pi devices. The coolest being the homemade pi based wifi enabled security camera (with infrared LEDs!) To cap the night we ended doing a mini install fest on a "classic" Sony Vaio! Thanks everybody!

Tim, Do you have a link to that graphics package you were talking about? The one where you just throw data at it and check it once in a while. Thanks, -Jamie

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 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? HDMI monitor? -Jamie On Thu, 12 Mar 2015, Tim Keller wrote: > 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". >

REMINDER!! Meeting TONIGHT! March 12th, 2015!
by Tim Keller March 12, 2015

March 12, 2015

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 March 10, 2015

March 10, 2015

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".

Meeting reminder! Next Meeting Thursday March 12th 2015!!!
by Tim Keller March 3, 2015

March 3, 2015

Hey Everybody! The next WLUG meeting is Thursday March 12th at 7pm in the mid century room (rm 331)! As of right now, I don't have a speaker lined up! If anybody has an ache to present something, have at it. Otherwise, we could do an open discussion meeting since we haven't had one of those in a while. I know in the past there's been some serious interest in what can be done with a raspberry pi. Like always they'll be refreshments and snacks followed by an egregious consumption of pizza. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
