You might find the WLUG slides for the Oct 11 2002 meeting helpful as background. While I was dealing with a compact flash reader and USB, you may still find the basic ritual informative. It certainly will not take long to skim. :-) (Just go to the WLUG website, click the "here" under "Past meeting Information" on the main page, and then the "view" under the third meeting from the top.) doug

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.

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

Hey Richard, Here are the full directions: 3 Washington St Hudson, MA 01749 Next to the library is the Hudson Fire Department, and in between them is the entrance to a municipal parking lot which is free to use.

REMINDER: WLUG Meeting Thursday October 11th

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting to be held in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI on Thursday, October 11th at 7:00 PM. On the agenda: 1) A discussion of whether or not WLUG should join the Boston User Groups organization. Check out http://www.bostonusergroups.com for more information. These folks have legally incorporated as an organization to act as an umbrella group for all sorts of computer user groups in / around Boston, southern NH, northern RI, and as far west as Worcester. We have been invited to join, and I recommend that we do so. The initial cost to the group would be $50, which we can easily afford. More on this at the meeting...... 2) Outcome of the most recently held install fest at WPI last week 3) Technical Q/A 4) I'll have 6 or 8 copies of StarOffice 6.0 beta available on CD 5) The last of the giveaways! (I'll get more at the Annual Linux Showcase in Oakland next month). 6) Other topics of interest? If you have a burning desire to address the group, let me know. 7) Update on Lancaster and plan our next trip to that site. FYI: As many of you know, I have been contributing to an open source project called gimp-print. My contribution is as the writer of the users guide. Well, the users guide has been officially released for the first time! Check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print for a really great set of printer drivers (my stuff is in version 4.1.99-b3). Feel free to fire documentation barbs my way. :-) Afterwards, I'm sure we'll take our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beers. All are invited! -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: We've got a meeting next week on the 13th!

by Tim Keller

Keith, It wasn't just you. It seems that it maxes out at some low number of users.. why.. worth investigating, but not at the expense of people being able to get into the meeting. Yeah, ARM for linux has been the "hotness" for a while. Pi definitely brought it to the forefront, but now more and more there are viable arm desktops. As for the AI, there are some FOSS solutions out there that are shockingly amazing. "ollama" is just one of them. No need to pay NVidia for AMD for the privilege. Tim.
