WLUG Meeting tonight (Virtual) at 7PM, usual Jitsi location.
by Tim Keller 09 Sep '21

Hey Gang, Enough people have reached out to me privately that they want to attend remotely, that I think it makes sense to do the meeting virtually this month. The meeting will be at the usual virtual place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA <https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA>@7PM. Speaking with Frank WPI is off the table as a meeting location. Tonight I think it warrants a conversation about where we'd like to do physical meetings. They are going to happen, I'd like to pick a spot that works for everybody. I'm sure lots of other topics will come up as well. See ya there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Happy 30th birthday linux!!

It was 30 years ago today Linus sent out his fateful email about his os he didn't think was going to turn into a "big thing." This is an amazing group full of quirky, smart and enthusiast linux users! I hope in some way we've helped to make linux a success! Stay safe and I hope to see you at the next meeting! Later, Tim.

Anagramarama is a game I found on the libre game wiki. I decided to add game achievements to Anagramarama. Since the old website is gone, I've created a new website. I'm currently in the process of adding the package to Fedora. http://identicalsoftware.com/anagramarama/ You can see the achievements at my test site: http://108.49.106.217/game/dulsi/anagramarama -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi

Meeting reminder! August 12th 2021, NOTE: Meeting will be Virtual!
by Tim Keller 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on Thursday August 12th! I'm going to up front say that this is going to be a virtual meeting. As great as having an in person meeting was, I think we should go back to virtual meetings until the whole Delta variant situation shakes out. Feel free to argue, this is wlug after all! Topic: Nothing decided yet. Feel free to step up to the plate if you've got something interesting. Otherwise, expect the usual nerd banter! Time: 7pm Location: The usual Jitsi location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hosting in-person meetings at library
by joshua.gage.stone＠gmail.com 20 Jul '21

Hey all, I've learned that the library in my town is open to the public for hosting club meetings! More info: https://hudsonpubliclibrary.com/ Some of the benefits I can think of for having meetings at the library include: - Free hosting - Free public wifi - Free on-site parking - Low noise levels - Projector and whiteboard are available - Books, music, movies, etc, are available for checking out (https://bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/home) - Adjacent to many restaurants, most having outdoor seating - Has EV charging stations nearby - Access to well-maintained walking trails and public parks Cons: - Conference room capacity is capped at 10 occupants - Meetings must end 15 minutes before library's closing time, so would have to end at 8:15PM - Many restaurants might be closed by 9PM I could imagine going back to our usual monthly meetings, from 7:00PM to 8:15PM on Thursdays, then walking over to one of the restaurants next door for food and drinks. I can personally vouch for these local establishments, all reachable within a 5 minute walk: https://railtrailflatbread.com/ https://www.wellysrestaurant.com/ https://newcitymicrocreamery.com/ https://www.lessthangreaterthan.com/ https://www.kithandkinhudson.com/ https://www.horseshoepub.com/ https://freshwingma.com/ https://www.medusabrewing.com/beer-garden What do you think? - Josh
