It was a really fun meeting, bummer we didn't have the CAD discussion,
but happy about the storage discussion.

Thanks for a great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller
As usual at WLUG, we went off on a tangent and it was amazing.. What
started out as a side conversation about storage technologies turned into
1.5 hour conversation about LVM / ZFS on Linux / Ceph / GlusterFS /
Synology / FreeNAS / NetAPP and the general philosophies around managing
scalable storage at home and in the enterprise!
This conversation continued at the Boynton and was great fun!
Next meeting is the 10th of October!
Later,
Tim.

September WLUG Meeting Announcement!
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
We've got a meeting next week!
Date: September 12, 2019
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century Room (rm 331) aka. the usual haunt
Topic: Tinkercad codeblocks and more!
I know that a few of us have tinkered with and enjoy using OpenSCAD.
However, for many users the learning curve is REALLY steep and this steep
learning curve has kept many users away from programmatic shape generation
for 3d modeling. Basically writing code to generate a shape.
At our last meeting Frank Sweetser showed off something really cool, which
is that Tinkercad has now integrated a "scratch" like language into
Tinkercad.
At this meeting someone will be giving a demo of this.
I think we would be remiss if we didn't talk about exFAT and Microsoft's
decision to open the patents on it. It *sounds* like we may have exFAT
becoming a first class citizen on linux. Is this Microsoft playing some
long game of embrace, extend, extinguish or are we moving towards some wild
convergence point? In that is the interesting conversation where we think
linux will be in another ten years and for that matter Microsoft.
As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll
head off for dinner and fall deeper down the rabbit hole!
Later,
Tim.

by Tim Keller
Keith,
If your up for it, I can pick you up at your house. Otherwise, we need to
up our streaming game!
In any case, I hope you feel better soon.
Later,
Tim.

Keep the faith. I had planned to be there,
but I fell and sprained my ankle.
Getting between the bed, bathroom, and armchair,
is about all the moving I want to do.
I haven't fogotten you and I hope to see you next month.

Re: Comparing distro packages
by Dennis Payne
I know openalchemist is there. I have it installed. I maintain
ostrichriders and btbuilder. I alerted the maintainer of shippy to my
updated version of that program.
What I'm interested in knowing, is when something is included in Fedora
but not Debian. This doesn't have to be limited to Fedora and Debian.
They just happen to be the ones I'm looking at. If you give a demo of
say openalchemist at a user group meeting, it would be nice to be able
to say it is available on Fedora and FreeBSD but not Debian. There is a
PPA for Ubuntu.
I stumbled on this wiki page for Debian which compared it to Fedora 20
but I have no idea how up to date it is:
