July WLUG Meeting will be online tonight @7pm

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, I'd like to start by apologizing. There's been some illness and other stuff going on and I've focused a bit less on WLUG than I'd like. Thankfully things are getting sorted out at my end and I will be focusing much more on WLUG. Tonight the meeting is going to be online. With the late announcement combined with only myself and John in person, it makes more sense to just have it online for this month. I plan on reaching out to the WPI people and seeing about doing in person meetings there for August hopefully. I'd also like to have a WLUG bbq at some point as well. We'll have our meeting at the same time and same place and like usual, it's going to be awesome. Jitsi: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Time: 7pm Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Wed is tight but doable. I have an every-Wed. 4 pm meeting building the new FM radio station over here in Athol. Thursdays are clear. I can make either arrangement.

How about setting it up so one of the cameras can capture it and put it up on the screen?

WLUG Meeting May 18th Topic: Codi / Plex / RetroPi Location: WPI student center Rm 129

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is going to be May 18th! at 7pm. We'll be meeting in the WPI Student Center Rm 129. (Go to the bottom of the stairs) Topic: Plex / Codi / RetroPi. or (So you've got a huge TV, what to do with? Watch movies and play retro computer games!!!) Everybody loves to watch movies, but DVD's scratch, get lost etc. A better way to manage your extensive collection is through programs such as Plex and Codi. As for speakers we're going to have a diverse group speaking at this meeting. I will be speaking about RetroPi. I'm looking for speakers for Plex / Codi. Write me or just show up! As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and after the meeting we'll head off to Tech Pizza. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Upcoming meetings - topic proposals

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, For our next meeting, I would like to have somebody finish the thread from the last meeting or two by explaining the contents of their firewall script and why the series of ipchains commands works for them. This might be helpful to folks who are either considering implementing a firewall or who want to understand the canned script that they got from wherever. My idea for a subsequent meeting was to have a newbie meeting as we haven't had one in quite some time. One idea I had was to discuss a shell: a) bash - scripting, command line "tricks" perhaps go over a "real" script, such as a startup script in /etc/init.d/wherever... Another idea would be to discuss the use of digital cameras with Linux. Are there other topics people would like to see? Are there volunteers to take on these topics? Perhaps there is a topic more interesting to you? Thanks in advance for your input, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Hey everyone, It looks like we still could use topic suggestions for our meeting on Thursday, June 16th! The suggestion form is set up to not require email login (for best results, open in a Private/Incognito window) if it helps: https://forms.gle/aBYhcHME1iK5SghZ7 - Josh On Wed, Jun 1, 2022 at 3:21 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > I've got a schedule conflict for June 9th.

Re: [Wlug] Trolling for a meeting topic

by Robert Breznak

A good topic is always security. Security concerning the installation of 3rd party applications and what measures should be taken to ensure a secure system possibly? Just throwing ideas onto the wall.

Re: April WLUG virtual meeting was a resounding success!

by Doug Mildram

tim> While it wasn't the same as a physical meeting, when we do manage to get ourselves all back in the same room.... doug>......by next meeting, maybe the wow factor of our WLUG Jitsi meeting will have faded. Or not! Either way, as we continue, i say THANKS, Very Cool (so far!) to have household members bop in to say hi. FEATURE: potential quick peek/hi's to/from your family/etc, some of whom we might know, + some we'd never "meet" otherwise! So get your laptop webcam working if you dare in May. Or...especially when lacking a pc-with-webcam, you might easily USE YOUR CELLPHONE to connect to Jitsi, as a couple of us did last week. I merely pointed my cellphone browser (google phone, if that matters) at the WLUG Jitsi link and it immediately offered me the free app ! (Part of the "too easy"if I don't mind "buying" a $0.00 app to attend meeting, battle cabin fever, show my ugly face and see my esteemed friends). TECH TWEAK for such meeting(s):? we should start with "audio/volume check", since our 10-or-so crowd unfortunately had "some kinda loud, others very weak" variables, and one might even get confused between weak/low-volume, vs other noise/combined-output issues.
