REMINDER: WLUG Meeting Wed. April 16, 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus. At this meeting, WLUG member Tim Keller will discuss how he used open source software to build a Digital Video Recorder (similar in function to the commercially available TiVO device). After the meeting, there will be a free (as in beer) raffle, and a trip to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. I look forward to seeing you there!

Re: [Wlug] Meeting on Wednesday?

Tim, I'm not an "official" and figured I'd reply as no one has yet. I thought the meeting times were changed to Thursdays. The website at: http://wlug.org/ Says it will be Thursday April 10th. Hopefully someone will confirm.

With regard to OpenVPN, this is definitely a possibility. Another type of VPN is FreeS/WAN. Are there others? Can somebody compare/contrast these two? Is anybody sufficiently knowledgeable to give a talk on these topics?

Re: We've got a meeting this Thursday! (Jan. 14th, 2021) at 7pm!

I made a similar mistake, except that I did not actually install it. I am not sure what you installed (I was too frightened to install the Debian package). It might be the software needed to run a jit.si server. In any case I think you do not need it. You need a computer with working microphone and speaker (sound), and should have a camera. You also need a web browser that is not ancient. (Lynx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) will not cut it!) Just put the URL https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA into the web browser. It will ask your permision to use the camera (Yes). It will display a rectangle with a drop down menu and the title "Join Meeting". Do not look in the menu; just click "Join Meeting". It _might_ work! -- Keith PS: I think you can do that any time. If there is no meeting happening, you will be all alone, but you can admire yourself on your own computer screen and see that it mostly sort of works (except for really working). > On Tuesday, January 12, 2021, 9:38:50 PM EST, Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > Hey Everybody, > We've got a meeting this Thursday (Jan. 14th). at 7pm! > It's going to be in our usual place on Jitsi: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA

I also realize that many people will not see this email prior to the meeting. Unless we get lucky and something changes at the last minute, I propose that we meet outside of the Access Grid room and immediately adjourn the meeting to the pizza restaurant. I've made signs for the door to inform anybody who arrives late, and I'll post those when I get to WPI. There wasn't a speaker scheduled for this evening (but there will be a speaker in April...ask me!). I apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this may cause you. All things considered, I think this is only the first (or maybe second) time in almost 10 years that this has happened...all in all, a very good track record!

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This month's WLUG meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17th in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus at 7:00 PM. The topic will be "Wireless Networking" and I'm pretty sure we have a speaker. If you have a laptop with a wireless connection, bring it along. I'll bring my new Linksys access point (WAP11) and my laptop. Bring whatever you think will make this an interesting meeting! After the meeting, we'll make a trip to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. I hope to see you there!

Tim> The meeting last night was amazing and Kalman showed us was a Tim> power emacs users looks like. It was a really fun meeting, and I enjoyed meeting Kalman and learning even more about emacs (as I write this using emacs...) and the power it provides. But I still think training my pinkie to use Ctrl/Meta down at the spacebar level, instead of on the home row is going to be hard to accomplish!
