HI everybody, Indeed, the meeting room has changed, in anticipation of a larger crowd than normal. I'll update the website shortly. We shall be meeting not in the Access Grid room (aka the usual place), but in Olin Hall room 107. Olin Hall is across campus from where we normally meet. We have had a few meetings there in the past. Here is a WPI campus map which may be of use to you. http://wlug.org/files/wpi_campus_map.pdf On this map, the Access Grid room is approximately between locations denoted A and H. Olin Hall is at location 21. Remember, we're meeting in Olin Hall room 107. We're also hoping that our friends from the IEEE Worcester Section will be able to join us at this meeting. See ya there!

HI gang, Would somebody who attends the WLUG meeting on Thursday be willing to write up something which can be posted on LWN, LinuxToday, and LinuxUsersGroups.org?

Re: Jitsi..

by Tim Keller

I hear you on the "no agenda" issue. I want to get back to having a defined topic and actually doing a presentation and then moving onto the general conversation. I think many people when they don't see we have a topic, decide not to come. I'm proposing for the next meeting that I do a talk on the useability of the pi5. I'm going to buy one as soon as it comes out and start mucking with it. I'm actually thinking what I might try to do is make it my daily driver at home and see how that goes. Do people like that idea, think it's terrible? Let me know. Thanks, Tim.

Early Reminder: Meeting June 7th - Sybase on Linux

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, I want to send out this early reminder about our upcoming WLUG meeting. It will be held on Wednesday, June 7th at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, Patrick Enright from Sybase Inc. will be talking about Sybase on Linux. Patrick was kind enough to send me a bunch of Sybase tee shirts, CDs, posters, etc. which I'll bring to the meeting and give away to the membership. After the meeting, we'll go out and have pizza, soda, and great conversation at the Tech Pizza Restaurant on Highland Street. I look forward to seeing you there!

Musing about meetings...

by Tim Keller

Okay Gang, In the 10+ years that this group has been in existence many of us have gotten married, had a couple of kids, etc. This means that planning for a WLUG meeting needs to happen in a much more scheduled manner. Sending out a meeting reminder the day before a meeting just doesn't cut it anymore. I've spoken with Chuck and things are going to be changing. However, before we do anything, I think it makes sense to ask some questions. Does the first Wednesday of every month work for everybody? Would going back to the Wed/Thurs alternating schedule work better for people? What I'd like to implement is an automated meeting system that'll automatically send a reminder at the beginning of the month and then a subsequent reminder the day or two before. I'd love input on this. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Where to hold meetings..

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, It appears that WPI isn't going to work out for us as a stable place to hold meetings. I have two questions to ask the group. 1. Does the second Thursday still work for people or would a Wed/Fri work better? 2. How far would people be willing to drive? As for the second question, doing some research, Leominster public library has meeting rooms (I'm also a LPL member) and they're open till 9pm. Moreover, Leominster has great afforable places to eat. I believe it's likely too late for me to schedule a meeting at LPL, but I can always call and ask. So I suspect this months meeting (which is going to be this Thursday) will be virtual. Though I'll let people know asap. Let me know what you think, I'd really like some input. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Any volunteers? Failing that, I doubt folks would be interested in seeing a real XO laptop. ;-) I could bring one if people are interested. That would give me incentive to learn how to use most of the programs. However, there isn't any VGA output, so I don't know how to get the image on the screen where an audience could see it. VNC perhaps? I'm not sure. I'll play with it over the weekend. For external connections, the machine has USB ports, wireless (WEP only), microphone and speaker jacks.

WLUG meeting Thu April 10 7PM

by Chuck Anderson

Thanks for the reminder. I updated the website last night, then got sucked into OpenSSL suckiness. That may be a good topic to talk about. So, yes there is a WLUG meeting this Thursday, April 10, at 7PM, in the WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (our usual room).

Upcoming meeting: Wed, Sept. 10th, 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, Our next meeting shall be held in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus on Wednesday, September 10th, at 7:00 PM. Note that this location is not the same as last month. This is the room that we generally use for our meetings. At this meeting, the topic will be "An Introduction to Linux for Newcomers", and the intended audience is people who do not know much (if anything) about Linux, but do have experience with computers and perhaps Windows. I'll prepare some slides and discuss the following topics (and perhaps more): o What is Linux? o Origins of Linux o Software licensing o Computer requirements (memory, disk space, etc) o How to obtain a copy of Linux o How to "test drive" Linux without messing up my computer o More... o Q/A session during the meeting and afterwards o Demo of a single CD version of Linux which won't modify your existing files on the C: drive o Giveaway: copies of a single CD version of Linux (probably Knoppix and/or Suse Live Eval - can somebody help me burn a few copies?) Bring your friends - let's see if we can get them to at least "kick the tires" on Linux. After the meeting, we'll adjourn to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. See ya there!
