I live in Worcester. For a long time I just walked up the hill to WLUG at WPI. I got bad at walking, so I got a ride and hung out in the library until meeting time. Those days are over. I don't know where Hudson is. I assume it's in Worcester county. The "W" in "WLUG" no longer stands for WPI, or even Wormtown. OK. > Secondly, the meeting will also be online at our usual Jitsi location for > people who can't make it in person. https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Did this happen? I was having a slow day after getting a anti-covid booster Wednesday, thinking of just skipping the whole thing. Diane was not home, so I could not use her laptop as I have in the past to join jit.si WLUG meetings, but I tried to connect with my own. It is not really usable, with its built in microphone and speaker feedbacking, but I thought I could listen and wave. I could see myself on screen, so I know the camera was working. The microphone seemed to be working, but when I pushed the "join meeting" button nothing happened. This was probably around 7:30. I assumed my own system (hardware, sofrware, network...) was the problem, but on further thought maybe you guys did not get it set up, or quit when nobody else joined the meeting for half an hour. > The topic we'll be discussing at the meeting is the Intel > Management Engine technology buried in every Intel CPU. I think I had better find out about this some other way. Thanks for the heads-up. What good is it to have the source code, if you can't trust the computer to run it? > We'll talk about those flaws and how to disable it! Any pointers to more info? -- Keith

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!

WLUG Meeting tonight?

by Keith Wright

I am used to getting an email from Tim Keller when there is a WLUG meeting. I am also used to it being on the second Thursday of the month. One of those didn't happen. Two meetings ago I tried to do a presentation of LaTeX, but share-screen did not work like it did three meetings ago. One meeting ago, share screen worked, but everyone was talking about something else, and I wasn't really ready anyway. I could try again, though I am not really ready today either. ---- Also > Hey Everybody, > > This is a reminder that we've got a meeting tomorrow at WPI! > Time: 7pm > Location: WPI Student Center Room 128 (Taylor Room) Down below the stairs. > Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > Topic: frame.work laptop demo, passbolt demo > > Cara Salter has agreed to come and show off her frame.work laptop.

Does it still work, or did it blow blue smoke? Did you actually upgrade anything? Would you recomend it? ---- Chuck Anderson via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > I noticed in "dnf update" on Fedora 41: > > Installing: > kernel x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 0.0 B > kernel-core x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 73.6 MiB > kernel-modules x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 62.5 MiB > kernel-modules-core x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 37.1 MiB > kernel-modules-extra x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 2.7 MiB OK. Google finds a page that says dnf is Fedora's replacement for yum, which is apt or rpm re-done. Just another package manager.

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).
