Re: Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow...

by THE HAMMER

I'm try to join in also on the IRC around 7pm. ________________________________ From: Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 4:19 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> Subject: [WLUG] Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow... I'm cancelling the physical WLUG meeting for March. WPI just put out a notice that they're closed for all events/meetings and I've been contacted by several members that they're going to be staying home out of an abundance of caution or they're under the weather... I'll be in our IRC channel tomorrow night and we can continue the fun online! Hopefully things will calm down for April. Stay safe.

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Our WLUG meeting will be on Wednesday, April 12 at 7:00 PM in "the usual place" (Access Grid Room, WPI campus, Worcester, MA USA). I hope a few people will be there who attended Linux Expo in Boston - I'm curious to hear about it, and I hope others are as well. Bring your Linux questions - you can ask the group and I'm sure somebody will have an answer. All Linux related topics are fair game at this meeting! I'll bring a few items for raffle (and others might also...). We'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza restaurant after the meeting.

Re: We've got meeting on the 8th of August!

by Tim Keller

Pulls out a walker.. Why, when I was just a wee linux lad, installing linux was an huge pain in the ass.. not like these days when you can just boot from an ISO.. from a usb stick.. you needed three floppies and a zip drive!! Then you'd accidentally "dd" your hardrive (hd0) trying to create a floppy image so you could install the ppp program!! These days installing linux is far easier than it ever was, but there's still interesting corner cases and odd devices that getting linux installed on them can be tricky. Tim.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'll bring my laptop, and I'm sure a few other folks will bring their laptops also.

I think we're doing a key signing in September, but I am definitely interested in hearing you talk about your internship at MS. Sounds like that covers October! Anybody have anything for this month?

Re: Jitsi..

by Joe Sherman

I've been hearing if you haven't already ordered a PI 5 then you won't get one until the 3rd production batch. Unless you can find a store that bought for their own stock and they haven't sold out yet. Also, the PI 5 specs are a mix of good and bad. Good performance, bad cooling, and lack of hardware decoding for a bunch of video types.
