Hey Gang, We're actually going to have someone speaking at our meeting! Dick Miller is going to come and show off his amazing photo management software fotoxx.

Re: Meeting ideas

Tim had the idea Wednesday to also ask Jon "maddog" Hall in to give a talk sometime likely about Linux or Open Source or whatever. I think that sounds like a good idea. He has been places and done things and his speeches are always thought provoking. I also like both the music ideas, the wifi speaker and the across the Internet personal music server.

Reminder meeting tonight at 7pm! Topic: "Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting"

by Tim Keller

We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022 Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting. Physical Location: Mid-Century Room at WPI! Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Speaker: Althea Shaheen The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us. As the web changes and the technologies underpinning complex websites grow and evolve, managing all this by hand becomes nearly impossible. Load balancers, database servers.. Now what if this website also needs to be scaled across cloud providers and on prem? What happens when your favorite cloud company whose data center is just a bunch of shipping containers burns to the ground? How easily could you reconstitute your website and all the underpinnings? Althea is going to speak to how they deploy their website and manages the entire process as code. I'd like to thank Chuck for facilitating getting Althea in contact with us. If you know people who'd like to speak, please let me know. YES, WE ARE MEETING AT WPI AGAIN!!! Unfortunately as I've been in close contact with someone with covid, I'll be unable to make it physically to the meeting, but I will be attending virtually.

Re: Dell Inspiron Linux Install saga

by John Stoffel

Keith, Just a heads up, but editing Video is a very memory and cpu hungry task. I've tried it on and off for years on my Linux systems using various tools and it was always a chore. I've tried 'openshot' in the past, and in the way way past I tried 'cinelerra', but it was pretty bad then. I think I tried 'kedenlive' as well. But I'm honestly not a good video editor and it was frustrating on an under-powered system. But these days might be better, especially if you are using a more bleeding edge linux distro like Fedora or Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Try looking at this page and see what you can get installed that's newer. https://filmora.wondershare.com/video-editor/free-linux-video-editor.html John
