Some more info for those who are interested: ODROID-C1: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php Compared to the Rasberry Pi 2, the ODROID-C1 has additional features like eMMC, IR receiver, GigE, USB OTG, real-time clock, and the ability to run Android. Another plus is that it isn't based on Broadcom (not very OSS friendly), it can decode more codecs in hardware, and it doesn't require any codec licenses to be purchased. Downsides are lack of separate audio and composite video outputs and lack of HDMI CEC. Oh and it can't run Windows 10 like the RPi 2 can. Still costs $35.00. * Amlogic ARM® Cortex®-A5(ARMv7) 1.5Ghz quad core CPUs * Mali™-450 MP2 GPU (OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 enabled for Linux and Android) * 1Gbyte DDR3 SDRAM * Gigabit Ethernet * 40pin GPIOs * eMMC4.5 HS200 Flash Storage slot / UHS-1 SDR50 MicroSD Card slot * USB 2.0 Host x 4, USB OTG x 1, * Infrared(IR) Receiver * Ubuntu 14.04 or Android KitKat Comparison with Raspberry Pi 2: http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/02/02/raspberry-pi-2-odroid-c1-development… ---------------- Logitech Media Server (LMS, a.k.a.

WLUG Meeting Sept 10th, 2015 @ 7:00pm !!!DIFFERENT LOCATION!!!!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Sorry for the late notice... Kids, school, etc. Firstly, we will be meeting in Rm. 203 Stratton Hall: http://maps.wpi.edu/map/?id=609#!ce/6603,11184?ct/11184?m/105250 Speaking of which, our topic is going to be about STEAM (Science Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) oriented educational things that are built with or work on linux. Basically I see this as a round table for people to talk about some of the cool stuff that's out there for kids these days. I've got scratch loaded on my machine so I can give a demo of that. I've also got Alice and google blocks as well. I'll also bring along my copy of snap circuits. This is an open venue. Feel free to do some research and find something cool. Like always, there will be refreshments provided and we'll convene at Tech Pizza afterwards to continue to banter. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I'll lead the discussion with a demonstration of the hardware and software features of the laptop. If you have an XO laptop, please bring it, as I haven't yet had a chance to try out the mesh networking, and it would be fun to try in a live demo. Remember: Thursday, Jan 17th, 2008, 7:00 PM on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA, in the Access Grid room on the ground floor of Morgan Hall (ok, its the wedge between Morgan and Daniels).

WLUG Meeting Jan. 14th @7pm WPI Mid century Room (rm 331)

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Sorry for the late email, it's been hectic at my end of things. Here are the facts! Date & Time: January 17th, 2016 @ 7PM Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (rm 331) Topic: None* *There's currently no topic ... I contemplated talking, but never got stuff together. Due to a scheduling conflict, I'll be unable to attend... so if someone else would like to step up for snacks and refreshments that would be quite helpful. I know people had a busy holidays, so my plan *was* for this to just be a general meeting anyway. We can get our heads around what we'd like for speakers for the coming year. My hope is to get my buddy Nick to do a deep dive talk about encryption in February. I know Greg had mentioned speaking about setting up a radio station. Please submit any suggestions! Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
