Re: Where to hold meetings..

by Joel

I can finagle most any night except Wednesdays. Thursday is easiest here. So a vote to stay Thursdays. I will second the vote for closer to Worcester or South. Leominster requires 50+ minutes of farm lands tour each way and logistics to leave earlier. Leaving earlier is harder with sport after school pickup and other commitments.

Re: Reminder: Wlug meeting November 9th: Location: Rec Center Rm 61

by Tim Keller

Hey everybody! So the meeting was good, but we need to work some kinks out with the A/V. The video was good, but the audio was definitely something to be desired. I'm going to work on getting some better omni directional mics for future meetings. Beyond that we had a very interesting conversation about the future of wifi with the 6e and 7 standards. We also delved a bit into some FOSS alternatives to popular commerial products like discord and options for unencumbered music players. Later, Tim.

Reminder: WLUG Meeting

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, April 22, at 7:00 PM at the usual place (the Access Grid room at WPI). At this meeting, we'll be having a PGP keysigning party, as described by Chuck Anderson in an email earlier this week. I hope a few people will be there to share how they make this work from their favorite email program. I haven't been entirely successful with Kmail, but I'll share just the same. Even if you don't have a PGP key, come over anyway to learn about this technology and to chat with others. I'd also be happy to relate to you the results of the "Introduction to Linux" class which I've recently finished teaching for the Chelmsford Community Education program. I'll be teaching this class again in September, and we're currently planning a much more advanced class. Also, bring along your ideas for future meetings! Afterwards, we'll venture out for pizza and beer at the newly renovated Boynton Restaurant - you won't recognize the place! See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: Thanks everybody, last nights virtual meeting was great!

Hello Mher, Perhaps you can start here to look for a Linux sysadmin position. If you want to do a wider search, perhaps this is more helpful. If you want to take advantage of your time at home here is where you can strengthen your skills.

If any of you guys know of any entry level Sysadmin positions locally. Please keep me in mind if something pops up. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you at next month's meeting.

Re: Hosting in-person meetings at library

by joshua.gage.stone＠gmail.com

I can reserve a time slot for tomorrow if there's enough interest in going to the library for a change in pace and scenery.

The first time WLUG had a jitsi meeting, I searched for it and found a Debian package that I thought I had to install. I dinna wanna. I don't know what the package is for, but somebody on this list said that it should work just to put the link into a browser, so I plan to try it tonight. I'll reoort back to this list. I have never used the camara or microphone on this laptop, I don't know if I have used used sound output, it was long ago and might have been a different machine, Is video chat built into the browser now? What exactly does Zoom or jit.si do then? And what's in that Debian jit.si package? -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] length of meetings

by Andy Stewart

Hi Aaron, The meetings typically last from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at the latest. However, if you leave at 9:00 PM, you'll miss the "best" part of the meeting at the Boynton Restaurant afterwards. :-) Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org
