Re: Hosting in-person meetings at library

by Joel

I won't make July or August meetings due to being out of the Worcester area. I like the Hudson Library idea. Also like the idea of possibly it moving around to different locations idea. I can see WLUG meeting at different libraries, coffee houses or brew pubs around central MA. A bit like the 70's Kung Fu TV series. Roaming the area with only our highly tuned Linux skills and spiritual training as a Shaolin Monk...

Re: WLUG Meeting tonight?

by Evan White

Keith, I have a Framework 16 and it does have good upgradability features. I have not upgraded anything with OEM parts yet, but I was able to re-use a mPCIe wireless adapter from an older laptop that is nicer with the kernel, as well as the storage from my old laptop. I saved money when buying the user-assembled Framework 16 kit as I didn't need to include storage or RAM. I used the NVMe storage from my older laptop and bought some aftermarket RAM that was cheaper than anything Framework was offering with the kit. Probably the first OEM Framework part I will get in the future will be a graphics card, but their only graphics offering currently has too little video RAM for running machine learning code. ________________________________ From: Keith Wright via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2025 3:27 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: wlug(a)lists.wlug.org <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org>; Keith Wright <kwright(a)keithdiane.us> Subject: [WLUG] WLUG Meeting tonight? I am used to getting an email from Tim Keller when there is a WLUG meeting. I am also used to it being on the second Thursday of the month. One of those didn't happen. Two meetings ago I tried to do a presentation of LaTeX, but share-screen did not work like it did three meetings ago. One meeting ago, share screen worked, but everyone was talking about something else, and I wasn't really ready anyway. I could try again, though I am not really ready today either. ---- Also > Hey Everybody, > > This is a reminder that we've got a meeting tomorrow at WPI! > Time: 7pm > Location: WPI Student Center Room 128 (Taylor Room) Down below the stairs. > Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > Topic: frame.work laptop demo, passbolt demo > > Cara Salter has agreed to come and show off her frame.work laptop.

Meeting Thursday August 11th 2022! Topic: "Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting"

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022 Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting. Physical Location: Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI! Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Speaker: Althea Shaheen The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us. As the web changes and the technologies underpinning complex websites grow and evolve, managing all this by hand becomes nearly impossible. Load balancers, database servers.. Now what if this website also needs to be scaled across cloud providers and on prem? What happens when your favorite cloud company whose data center is just a bunch of shipping containers burns to the ground? How easily could you reconstitute your website and all the underpinnings? Althea is going to speak to how they deploy their website and manages the entire process as code. I'd like to thank Chuck for facilitating getting Althea in contact with us. If you know people who'd like to speak, please let me know. Yes, it's quite possible we'll be able to meet in our old haunt. When I know more, you'll know more! Unfortunately as I've been in close contact with someone with covid, I'll be unable to make it physically to the meeting, but I will be attending virtually. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, The next WLUG meeting is coming up fast - Thursday, May 19th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. Directions can be found on the WLUG website. At this meeting, our guest speaker will be Jason Schonberg. Jason will give us a talk about Linux on Appliances at this meeting. No, we're not talking about booting Linux on your coffee maker or toaster (or Christmas tree, Chuck). This talk will include a discussion of compiler and development issues for embedded systems. There will also be a demonstration involving the Cobalt Qube2. I'll bring the following items for free give-a-way: - Ubuntu Linux CDs (I still have about 30 of these) - pens from Linux Journal - corkscrews from CodeWeavers - yes, I'm cleaning up !! ...and these items for raffle: - Postal2 - Share the Pain - a video game for Linux http://www.runningwithscissors.com (I can't make it work on my machine) - a Softpro coffee mug Finally, we'll also be raffling off an IBM Netvista computer, with a Pentium III @ 933 MHz, 256 MB memory, CDRW, and DVD ROM. Keyboard and mouse included (no monitor). This machine is currently running Mandriva Linux 10.2 (aka LE2005). After the meeting, we'll go get some pizza. See ya there!

Reminder: Upcoming WLUG meeting

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at the usual place (the Access Grid room, WPI campus, Worcester, MA USA). Detailed directions can be found on the WLUG webpage. At this meeting, our featured speaker is J.D. "Illiad" Frazer, the author of the comic strip UserFriendly. You can read the comic strip at http:// www.userfriendly.org. There are more details, such as biographical information, and an explanation of the comic strip's characters, linked from the WLUG home page. This meeting will be broadcast onto the Access Grid. For those who don't know, the Access Grid can be considered to be video conferencing on steroids. Read more about it at this site: http://www.accessgrid.org. There are only a few such sites in all of New England, but there are almost 200 sites worldwide: Boston University Worcester Polytechnic Institute Dartmouth Univ. of Maine - Orono I am going to try to get to Softpro and see if I can pick up a couple of UserFriendly books for the raffle. As usual, light refreshments will be served. After the meeting, we'll adjourn to some local restaurant. I'm not sure, but I think the Boynton Restaurant is still undergoing major renovations and is thus closed. In that event, we can probably go to the mexican place (Tortilla Sams, I think its called). Get there early...there are only 25 seats... :-) See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
