New router supporting fq_codel
by Frank Sweetser June 26, 2014

Since a number of people were interested, I thought I'd throw out that Ubiquity EdgeMax now supports fq_codel: http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX-Updates-Blog/EdgeMax-software-release-… These are good devices if you want something with a lot of enterprise-type features at consumer grade prices. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that Manager of Network Operations | is simple, elegant, and wrong.

Paying Job needing Linux expertise
by Robert Schwein June 19, 2014

June 19, 2014

WVAO-LP FM radio station in Athol MA has just received its FCC construction permit. They are now organizing to build a radio station. One task is to design/build the control room. They want to use Linux. They would prefer using SUSE (https://www.suse.com/products/server/ and/or https://www.suse.com/products/desktop/) to ensure support and security for the decades to come. You would work in collaboration with the project manager, Ms Marie MacDonald and her team of volunteers. You would be specifying/building control room computer(s), specifying/installing/configuring management and monitoring software, and setting up a support infrastructure (if something goes wrong at 2 in the morning they need to quickly get back on the air) (if a software update results in a broken dependency, it needs to be fixed). Pay is by the hour and to be negotiated with the project manager. This is a non-profit organization. You will not get rich but you will have solid resume material and will definitely be helping the towns of Athol and Orange get a community radio station on the air. You're more than welcome to contact me for additional information. Bob Robert.Athol.Mass(a)Gmail.com

Run Linux on HP Touchpad
by Andy Stewart May 10, 2014

May 10, 2014

HI everybody, Somebody just gave me an HP Touchpad, and I'd like to run Linux on it. It seems that I'm about 3 years too late to this game. I cannot find a set of instructions that work from a Linux computer. Many of the links to software needed to make this work are out of date. I succeeded in getting my Linux system to see the HP Touchpad as a USB device and I copied some files to it. Is there any hope? Have a lot of fun, Andy -- Andy Stewart (KB1OIQ) Founder: Worcester Linux Users' Group Founder: Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group President: PART of Westford, MA (WB1GOF)

Hi folks! I will be introducing OpenSCAD, a DSL for CAD modeling. It is a finite, functional scripting language that outputs shapes ready for 3d printing. It has a C like syntax that is parsed into an OpenCSG tree, that is then compiled down to a .stl triangular mesh. It supports all source code version control unlike most 3d design software, and also has a powerful library system for modular designing. If you install it ahead of time (or when you get here) i can do a live coding walk through. http://www.openscad.org/ http://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/ On May 3, 2014 12:00 PM, <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> wrote: > Send Wlug mailing list submissions to > wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wlug-owner(a)mail.wlug.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Wlug digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

OT: Looking for ISP
by Richard Klein May 7, 2014

May 7, 2014

I'm moving back to Worcester after 5-ish years. I used speakeasy for DSL when I lived near Indian Lake, but they aren't the same company anymore, and the new place is just off Hope Ave, by the cemeteries, Hadwen Park, and the Auburn line. Can anyone recommend a good ISP out that way, or a good website to find an ISP? -- Thanks! Rich
