-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI everybody, We have a WLUG meeting coming up NEXT week on Thursday, January 22, 2009.

I jotted down a couple very quick notes at the end of the meeting, so I thought I'd share them with everyone else. Of course, the meeting started with Nick giving a presentation of Miro, a media player with online guide, search tools, rating system, etc, built on gtk, python, libtorrent, and mozilla, that takes advantage of RSS and bit torrent: http://www.getmiro.com/ Miro began in Worcester! One of the many guys whose names I can't remember reminded us of the ACM@WPI swap meet this Saturday. This is the official page: http://www.acm.wpi.edu/swapmeet/ but I like the presentation of the data better here: http://www.socialweb.net/Events/87360.lasso Someone else recommended MonoPrice for cheap DVI/HDMI cables: http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp Alex, I think, recommended the Linux Mint distro, but I don't remember what the question was: http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php Finally, someone recommended the HP T57xx line of thin clients as a surprisingly capable platform with no moving parts that can be had for cheap on the used and/or gray market: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-12454-321959-338927-8930... -- Rich

Hi Rich et al, Thanks for the summary! That'll help everybody, whether or not they attended the meeting. On a related note, I'd like to mention that we had 28 people at this evening's meeting, which is a GREAT turnout. We had standing room only in the Access Grid room. We also had a relatively large crowd go out for pizza afterwards, and it seemed to me like everybody had a good time. The last of us broke off our discussions around 11:30 PM, and I just got home a few minutes ago (yeah, I have a long drive). On behalf of WLUG, I'd like to say thanks once again to Nick who gave a great talk this evening. See ya later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJeVjQHl0iXDssISsRAvYmAJ9+LcotKZQr8a0IccWVwDUT1x/j8wCdGf+s kDf1vgbyhT6Cntc4HUWeM1s= =mQYW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
