..my one thought is the computer with the trouble was running *cough* Windows xp...it has AGV virus protection. I'm wondering if AVG is blocking the site.

Great idea. I put that in as the topic for next month on the website and IRC channel. We may be able to use HDMI out on phones/tablets to the projector, or use a document camera (the modern replacement for the overhead projector).

Idea for next month's WLUG meeting....

by joel d

Over pizza last night I had a WLUG meeting idea I thought I would share with the group. Seems many WLUG members have Android phones and tablets. How about a show & tell about each of our favorite Android applications? Android is Linux-based so it is somewhat relevent to our group. I am not sure how we can "show these" up on a big screen but a laptop could easily go to the web page (or developer's page) via browser might work. I am happy to contribute my 5 to 10 favorites in the Android App world. Sharing these in this e-mail group might make sense also if people so choose. Anyone else have thoughts on this topic? Thank you, Joel

Hi folks, The next Worcester Linux Users' Group (WLUG) meeting will be held at its regularly scheduled time: the 2nd Wednesday of the month, which is tomorrow, Wednesday, February 13, at 7PM. The location will be the WPI Campus Center, Mid-Centry Room 331, which should hopefully become our regular location. If people would like, I can bring my new Raspberry Pi to play with. I might even have a case for it by then. I have installed a distro called OpenELEC which is an XBMC port, but we can play with other distros as well, especially if people bring some spare SD cards they don't mind erasing. Wednesday, February 13, 7:00 - 10:00 PM WPI Campus Center, Mid-Centry Room 331 More Raspberry Pi Afterwards, we will go out for pizza and maybe raspberry pie. See you there, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group http://www.wlug.org/
