I have a 7 year old, so kids & education sounds great. Telephony would be a great topic as well.

Re: [Wlug] Topics for next meeting (confidence in FOSS decreasing?)

I don't think FOSS confidence is a silly discussion item > for this group. Perfectly valid discussion. I do however question that confidence in FOSS is decreasing. The dread and doom predictions from media are just to get readers. I haven't heard of anyone switch off linux due to the problems. Instead Microsoft announces it is going to work on Docker for Windows.

Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> writes: > Hey Gang, > > What would people like to do for WLUG this month? > > Thanks, > Tim. Oh, oh, nobody answers. I don't want WLUG to die for lack of interest. If we can't get a speaker and a topic, let's do a discussion circle---everyone takes a turn to answer the question "For what do you use Linux?" I know some people use it at work to manage multi-terabyte databases, and some build little microprocessor gadgets, but I would be interested to know the full range, and maybe learn about some new applications. -- Keith

WLUG Meeting next week! July 13th 2023.. Tentative topic is keyboards, RedHat.

by Tim Keller

While not entirely linux related, keyboard preference is something that we all have opinions on. I'll bring along a couple interesting keyboards that play nicely with linux. I know we'll definitely talk about the the RedHat decision as well. It'll be interesting to get Joshua's perspective on this as well. I'm still working out a location on the WPI campus, I'll let everybody know when I get more details. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
