by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, This is the first in an infinite series of reminders about our upcoming WLUG meeting. It will be held on Thursday, August 20th, at 7:00 PM on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. Note that we will be meeting in a different meeting room. The Access Grid room has been recently dismantled and is no longer available for our meetings. Chuck Anderson has secured our use of Salisbury Labs Room 104 (thanks, Chuck!!) for this meeting. Please note that the website has updated directions for this meeting location. Our guest speaker at this meeting will be Jon 'maddog' Hall, and he will be speaking on the topic of "Making Money from Free Software". This promises to be an excellent meeting that you won't want to miss. After the meeting, we'll adjourn to the pizza restaurant (Tech Pizza on Highland Street) for our usual sodas, pizza, and great conversation. I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.

REMINDER: WLUG Meeting - Thursday!

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, We'll be having our next WLUG meeting on Thursday, November 11th at 7:00 PM in the usual place. Chuck Anderson is going to talk to us rather informally (a la the Gentoo meeting) about what is new and different in Fedora Core 3. He'll also have a PC or two for a live demo. Coming in December: Our guest speaker at the December 15th meeting will be Jon 'maddog' Hall. If you never come to another WLUG meeting, be sure you make it to this meeting! maddog is a fantastic speaker that you don't want to miss. He has spoken at several WLUG meetings in the past and the feedback has been universally positive. Please see the WLUG website for more details about maddog's talk. Starting in January 2005: It looks like our meeting location will be used for a class on Wednesday evening. It may be possible for us to find another location on campus for our Wednesday meetings. Another possibility is to have occasional meetings on Monday evening. Right now, we alternate between Wednesday and Thursday evening. I know that if we changed to Mon/Thurs meeting nights, some folks would like it and others would not. There's really no way to make everybody happy here, except perhaps to find another campus location for Wednesday evening meetings. Stay tuned...nothing is definite yet.

Upcoming meetings

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, I like the idea of having a handhelds night, be they Zaurus, IPAQ, Palm, etc. I also would agree that January might be a good time for such a meeting. There seems to be a general consensus on this, so I'd like to propose that the January meeting will be the "Handhelds and Linux" meeting. I'll volunteer to bring my Palm IIIx and show how to sync it with Linux. Admittedly, that's not as cool as running Linux on the handheld itself, but hey, its one more thing to keep me away from Windows! I would like to hear from other volunteers who plan to bring their handheld devices so I can pencil you in. When I announce the meeting, I'd like to be able to say what types of devices will be discussed and demonstrated. That type of detail will draw people to the meeting. Note that Jon 'Maddog' Hall is scheduled to be our speaker at the February meeting. Maddog has come to WLUG meetings in the past and is an awesome speaker. You definitely do NOT want to miss this meeting! If we advertise this around the WPI campus and on the net, I don't see why we couldn't have a big crowd for this meeting. With regard to a possible LAN party, its not clear to me that we can pull it together just a few days before the meeting date (or am I wrong?), so should we plan on this for the March meeting? I propose that with all of the network gear and people's computers, we could accomodate the computer gamers as well as those who want security checks (nessus and the like), or even those who have never configured networking before and would like to give it a try. Given all of the above, that still leaves our December meeting open. What do folks think we can pull together in the next few days?

Meeting reminder! August 12th 2021, NOTE: Meeting will be Virtual!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on Thursday August 12th! I'm going to up front say that this is going to be a virtual meeting. As great as having an in person meeting was, I think we should go back to virtual meetings until the whole Delta variant situation shakes out. Feel free to argue, this is wlug after all! Topic: Nothing decided yet. Feel free to step up to the plate if you've got something interesting. Otherwise, expect the usual nerd banter! Time: 7pm Location: The usual Jitsi location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Let's make WLUG meetings better!

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, I was a little disappointed at the turnout from the last WLUG meeting. We had 8 or 9 people show up, and while we did have a good time watching Scott and Doug get a couple of scanners working under Linux, it would have been alot more fun with more people in attendance. I believe this was the lowest attendance we've seen at a WLUG meeting in our 5.5 year history. :-( We discussed possible reasons for the low attendance at the Boynton over a few beers. One suggestion was that I should update the WLUG website to show what we have done at past meetings so people wouldn't think that nothing was accomplished. I've done that and will endeavor to keep that part of the WLUG website current (see "Past Meeting Information"). Another thought was that some people will only come to a meeting if the topic looks interesting to them, and if it is announced well in advance. I must admit to having been somewhat lax in that area lately. Therefore, in an attempt to remedy that (at least for this month), I'm putting out the call now for a speaker and a topic for the Dec. 12th meeting (its coming up fast!). I sent out a list of potential topics last month, but I know that there are a zilliion interesting things happening in the Linux world that could be discussed at a WLUG meeting. The meeting need not be discussion based, either! Although Kinnicutt Hall lends itself well to this type of meeting, we do have access to other rooms on campus. People have tossed out ideas such as these: o build a network for multiplayer Linux games o build a network to see if WLUG crackers can break into your system (not to destroy it, but to teach you what to fix to secure your system) o more live demos! The group exists to meet your needs, so please, state your needs! I can't arrange a meeting to your liking if I get no feedback on what you want to see at future WLUG meetings. More importantly, I'd like to see more and different people volunteer to do the presentations or to run a live demo. If you look back at the last year of WLUG meetings, you'll see the same names many times. While I'm *quite* happy that these folks continue to volunteer, I'd like to see others jump in also. Finally, if anybody has feedback regarding the last meeting and why it lacked attendees, please bring it up on the list so we can all discuss it. Without such candid discussions, WLUG cannot improve.

REMINDER: Upcoming meeting

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, which will be held on Thursday, December 13th, at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA. Directions can be found on the WLUG website. At this meeting, I'll bring the stuff that I wanted to do from last meeting, which I unfortunately missed due to illness. (Not bad, I've only missed one meeting in 4.5 years, and it took a probably case of pneumonia to do it!). I have a bunch of freebies from the Annual Linux Showcase to give away. I'd like to plan some activities for calendar year 2002. I'll update you on the budget. We'll talk about the seeming instabilities in the recent 2.4 kernels, and anything else you wish. There is no formal speaker for this meeting (unless somebody sends me e-mail very soon and volunteers). After the meeting, we'll go out for pizza/beer at the Boynton Restaurant. I've just requested the meeting room for 12 dates in 2002. Once I get confirmation, I'll post the 2002 meeting schedule on the website. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

We've got meeting on the 8th of August!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting and a topic idea! We've got a meeting on the 8th! During the last couple of meetings, we've had a couple of new users come by and it was clear to me that we were going into the higher level linux concepts, many of which were flying over their heads. I was thinking it might be really good to have a back to basics wlug meeting, where we get in get into unix philosophy, what a distro is, what parts make up a distro, common things people deal with, etc. Yeah, nah? I'm also trying to turn a page here and start the conversation about the meeting more than say.. 2 days before the meeting so the meetings can continue to have their ruckus nature, but actually have some bit of structure!

RE: [Wlug] Let's make WLUG meetings better!

by Haines, Charles Allen

I would be very interested in some security based presentations. I think setting up some boxes for "security" testing would be really cool. I'd be willing to donate my box to the cause. I'd also like to see a tutorial on iptables, cause they are a very usual thing. Other than that, I think a demo on wine, and getting some of that other OS's programs like dreamweaver mx, to work under wine. ================================================= | Chuck Haines | AIM: CyberGrex | | ECE Sys Admin | Yahoo: CyberGrex_27 | | GDC Developer | ICQ: 3707881 | ================================================= http://www.linux-xtreme.net -----Original Message----- From: Andy Stewart [mailto:andystewart@attbi.com] Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 6:56 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group Subject: [Wlug] Let's make WLUG meetings better!
