Re: Reminder! Meeting this week on Sept 9th!

by Tim Keller

I should point out that going forward, all physical meetings are also going to connected to the Jitsi meeting as well. I don't want anybody to feel that they can't attend the meeting due to mobility issues or scheduling conflicts. Tim.

Announce: Next WLUG meeting & meetings for 2011

by Chuck Anderson

Hi folks, Our next WLUG meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, January 12 at 7:00 PM at the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. The meeting room is in WPI's Morgan Hall (building 'H' on the campus map [1]), down the hallway to the right of the dining hall entrance. [1] http://www.wpi.edu/Images/CMS/WPI/walkingmap.pdf Also, I have normalized the meeting schedule to be the 2nd Wednesday of each month. We'll try this for awhile and see how it goes. As always, please email me if you are interested in presenting a topic for any of our future meetings. We're a very laid back group, so don't feel you need to have a polished presentation in order to speak. Demos are always fun too. Some topic ideas we've had are: - Linux Android Development - Linux on Wireless Routers: OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc. - IRC basics: how to chat on #wlug-ma - PGP/GPG keysigning party - Compare ZFS vs. BTRFS vs. ... - Virtualization Technologies KVM, Xen, VMWare - Demo the latest version of your favorite Linux distribution Happy Holidays and I look forward to seeing you next year, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group

Re: [Wlug] thursday meetings?

HI Eric, I was originally asked to alternate between Wednesday and Thursday evenings when WLUG was first founded 10 years ago (wow! time flies). This was done to accommodate students who had class, so they could attend at least some WLUG meetings. We used to alternate between these two nights on a monthly basis for the first 7 years or so. Since I started teaching Linux class on Thursday evenings about 3 years ago, I've been scheduling the WLUG meetings for Wednesday evenings. When I'm not teaching, I move the WLUG meetings back to Thursday. Thus, we end up with a few consecutive meetings on one evening or the other. I apologize if this means that people will miss a few meetings when we switch from their preferred evening.

Re: Jitsi..

by Joshua Stone

I didn't notice much of a performance issue with last night's meeting. If anything, the meetings are hard to follow from Jitsi now that most people are joining the meetings in-person but there isn't an agenda or some other signifier for what the topic is. The open-ended conversation format is fine, but doesn't always translate well for anyone joining virtually. One of the nice things about Jitsi Meet is that you can screenshare a slideshow for people to follow, but that doesn't seem to be leveraged. That being said, I would be all for a self-hosted Jitsi! Joining a meeting would be really convenient if it was as simple as clicking on: https://meet.wlug.org - Josh On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 11:19 AM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Last night it was brought to my attention that Jitsi has decided to become > more "zoom" like. > That sucks.

Trolling for a meeting topic

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, We have a meeting coming up soon and I'm looking for somebody who has a topic they'd like to present at the meeting. There's free pizza for you after the meeting if you do the presentation (wow - such a deal!!). Here's another idea: if we had a topic where we could have a round table discussion, that would work also. We had a meeting like this a couple of months ago and it worked out well. The choice of topic is an open topic for discussion. Let us know your thoughts. The meeting is currently scheduled for this coming Thursday, July 14th at 7 PM. Thanks!
