Hey Everybody!
We've got a meeting this week!
Date: May 16th, 2019
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Campus Center Mid Century Room (rm 331)
Topic: Linux Gaming
This month we'll be talking about Linux Gaming! I may or may not be able to
make it. My wife will be out of town so we'll see...
If I do make it I plan do demo using Lutris. If others would like to demo
games on linux feel free to show them off.
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off for dinner.
Thanks,
Tim.

That's pretty interesting. I admit I've never played DF, too scared
off by the complexity and my lack free time.

Reminder: Meeting April 18th. Topic: Open Broadcast System Location: Stratton Hall Rm 106
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
This Thursday at 7pm in Stratton Hall rm 106, wlug member Ian Gelman will
be doing a talk about the Open Broadcast system.
OBS (https://obsproject.com/) is free, open source software that allows you
turn your Linux system into a powerful mobile TV studio. If you’ve watched
any online content creators in the past couple of years, you’ve likely seen
the software in action. In this talk, I’ll be giving an overview of what
the software can do, as well as a case study on how OBS helped rocket a
simple clementine to the top of the WPI subreddit. (
http://wpiwa.wpi.edu/clementine.html) We’ll finish up with a live demo
where we’ll create a stream with some webcam footage, application displays,
and an internet radio station.
Snacks and Refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for
dinner.
Thanks,
Tim.

Hey Gang,
We've got a meeting on Thursday!!! I don't know how I managed to screw up
