Re: April WLUG virtual meeting was a resounding success!

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.

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.

I did not know this and Frank has informed me that the Trustees have actually booked the airspace above WPI.. I'm going to declare that we move the meeting off a week. It's going to be a madhouse this Thursday, let's not add to it. Thanks, Tim.

Possible swap meet?

by Clint Moyer

As there is currently (AFAIK) no topic for the next Wednesday's WLUG meeting, I'd like to propose the possibility of a kinda sorta swap meet. I'm probably not the only person with an assortment of PC parts of dubious value. However one man's trash is another's treasure. Perhaps interested parties could bring their old parts to the meeting for possible exchange for someone else's. Is this practical, feasible, desireable or not a good idea at all?
