Hey Everybody,
Yup, we're all trapped at home like crazed rats in a maze, but that can't
stop us from having a WLUG meeting!
Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
Time: 7pm - Whenever we want to stop!
Topic: Lots of stuff I'm sure!
Snacks and refreshments sadly won't be provided, though expect a fair
amount of eating and drinking on camera!
Later,
Tim.

constituents as "consumers".
I would be happy to attend for a jitsi meetup. I might even be willing to
give a lecture about why I welcome Fedora to be on Lenovo laptops.

Either way, as we continue, i say THANKS, Very Cool (so far!) to have
household members bop in to say hi.
FEATURE: potential quick peek/hi's to/from your family/etc,
some of whom we might know, + some we'd never "meet" otherwise!
So get your laptop webcam working if you dare in May.
Or...especially when lacking a pc-with-webcam, you might easily
USE YOUR CELLPHONE to connect to Jitsi, as a couple of us did last week.
I merely pointed my cellphone browser (google phone, if that matters)
at the WLUG Jitsi link and it immediately offered me the free app !
(Part of the "too easy"if I don't mind "buying" a $0.00 app to attend
meeting,
battle cabin fever, show my ugly face and see my esteemed friends).
TECH TWEAK for such meeting(s):? we should start with "audio/volume
check",
since our 10-or-so crowd unfortunately had "some kinda loud, others very
weak" variables,
and one might even get confused between weak/low-volume, vs other
noise/combined-output issues.

You could also try Podman, just as simple as Docker. (Same CLI) and
works in a more secure fashion. You can use it without being root.
containers run in your homedir.

Too easy. Docker's quicker... easier; more seductive. I would only
learn how to use docker, and I want more than that.
Thank you though,

Hi Michael,
I didn't try but may be you can try the container alternative:

good luck

Hey Everybody,
I just wanted to give a shout out to everybody who showed up to the virtual
meeting last night. It was cool to see Maddog show up, I'm glad he's
staying safe and healthy.
Yeah, there were a couple of audio/video hiccups, but I thought overall it
went great.
I shared my screen a couple of times and that worked just fine as well.
One cool thing that was brought up doing the meeting and I thought was
worth talking about is "vscodium" which is a 100% open source recompile of
the visual studio code editor. The big difference is that the vscode as
shipped from microsoft contains telemetry tracking data that gets sent back
to the mothership... https://vscodium.com/ solves that problem.
We obviously jibber jabbed about COVID19 and folding@home and Logan showed
off the facemasks he's been printing as well as the antennae he's building
to contact a long lost satellite in geostationary orbit.
While it wasn't the same as a physical meeting, when we do manage to get
ourselves all back in the same room, I think it's something we'll
definitely incorporate into the physical meetings.
Stay safe, stay healthy and wash your hands!
We'll see what May brings us and decide from there...
Tim.

Has anyone here built a functional jitsi server? I tried today, with a
fresh Debian-10 install and the jitsi "quick-install" method:
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-install.md
It didn't work. jitsi logs indicated a java problem; I had neither the
time nor really the inclination to debug their "stable" install.
My two test-laptops were able to connect to meet.jit.si and communicated
with eachother using the "free" jitsi server, but when the same two
laptops were connected to the server I'd just built, the two failed to
connect.
I'll try again tomorrow. The next immediate challenge will be purging
the traces of the failed first experiment from the system.

Me too. I was in & out briefly, but did not have camera or microphone
on my desktop computer. I hope to participate more in the future.
