REMINDER: Meeting Wed 18-sept-2002 7:00 PM
HI Everybody, My apologies for not sending this out sooner, but our meeting for Wednesday evening is going to take place at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus like usual. We won't be having the install fest since I didn't get off my butt and make the arrangements (sorry!). I hope to do that tomorrow for a potential install fest in 1-2 weeks. I'll say more about that on Wed evening (that'll put the pressure on me to get this done!). I'll bring my laptop and hope that the projector is available (Chuck, can you assist?). I had thought of doing a demo of the VideoLan client/server. Doug, would you like to volunteer to bring your laptop? We'll need a hub and some cables to build a network. I'll be sure to have the necesary tarballs to make this work, or you can download them yourself if you wish. I'll bring a DVD or two and we can try it out. I had thought of doing this "live" like we did one other time. In case Doug can't make the meeting, having another laptop or two present might be interesting. Although the VideoLan client is interesting, I think the ability to stream the video over the net is pretty neat. Take a look at this website for some background info. http://www.videolan.org/ See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
Hi Sorry about the delay responding. The UMass mail server filled up last night and nobody seemed to be around to do anything about it. :-) / :-(
Doug, would you like to volunteer to bring your laptop?
Will do. [It is just 400MHz but that just makes the grade for VLC :-) ] No DVD drive (just CDrom) so it would probably have to be the client.
We'll need a hub and some cables to build a network.
I can bring "some cables". I shall also bring a hub [not a switch and it's only 10BaseT, but then too, so is my ethernet card :-( ] The URL says 6-9 or 3-4 mbits/s so we should just slip in under the wire.
in case doug can't make the meeting,
Weren't you paying attention above?! :-) doug "let me pull your plug" waud
