I'd like to apologize for the online meeting failure last night.

Going forward our Jitsi game is going to have to be upped a bit. To this end, I'm putting together a wlug "go-bag" that'll have a tripod, a dedicated camera/mic and a laptop to run the whole shabang. Along with that I'm going to toss in a whole bevy of "X to HDMI" adapters as well as our own nice long HDMI cables, etc.

This will eliminate delays in dealing with the student center, allow for seamless virtual meetings, and properly record them to put up on the youtube channel.

Thanks for your understanding,
Tim.

Right.  That didn't work well.  I was on jitsi within
minutes of 7pm.  At first I thought I had technical
problems because I couldn't see or hear anybody.
A few minutes and a few named rectangles showed up,
including the all important "WLUG Meeting".

But the guest speaker was not there.  It was noisy and
hard to hear anyone who was not near the mike.  Around
7:30 there was talk of booting from a flash drive and
then "WLUG Meeting" vanished.  There were three of us
left, me and two rectangles named jstone and PMcEvilly.
We talked a bit about our computers, but didn't really
have much to say.  At 8pm the computer that runs ntpd
(NetTimePro) said it was time to move along.

This is not a gripe, it's a bug report.  Jitsi actually
seemed to work better from the public library.  This
is a bit frightening.  WPI has been teaching over
video chat for years.  We did video chat meetings
with the equipment in the student center back in
the Andy Stewart days.

I'm not sure what to make of that question.
WLUG meetings are traditionally 1/month.
On the other hand, I think the jitsi room
is open all the time.
