I'll be a few minutes late (already am in fact).

Hey Everybody,
We've got a meeting tonight. I'll be in our usual haunt (WPI Campus Center
Mid Century Room (rm 331)) at 7PM.
As this was a short notice meeting, I suspect the attendance might be
sparse.
Josh, why don't we plan for February so you're not on the spot and I can
get the word out a bit better.
I'm thinking tonight might be a bit freeform which is always fun! We can
also talk about things that we might all find interesting for up coming
topics.
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off for dinner.
See you there!
Tim.

Lexi,
I've heard of Tiny, but I've never seen it in action. That sounds really
cool! Feel free to bring along the laptop to show it off! That in itself
sounds like a great idea for a talk!
Later,
Tim.

Hi, I'm Lexi!
I've not been to a WLUG meeting since ... since a long time .... I remember a Blender talk, and a Maddog talk - and these look like circa 2003/2004.... So, absent a long time!
Anyways. I am trying to find the time to come again.
I've been a casual Linux user since 1998, when I installed Debian from a pile of floppies (( or should I say, my friend installed it for me, and my learning journey began )) .... and for a long time I was an exclusive user .... and at heart I think I am still - even as I flog along a 10 year old iMac.
But for a couple years now, on my laptop I've been running 'Tiny Core Linux' , which if you're unfamiliar with it, it is based on the Linux From Scratch work, with an emphasis on a 'tiny' footprint. Needed additional software are mounted into ram from squashfs archives, on the fly. It is quirky, but I like it. I wondered if anyone else has used it (or uses it).
I didn't feel right just asking blindly, without a vague reintroduction of myself.
So - question: Anyone else use, now or previously, the Tiny Core Linux Distribution? [*]
Thanks,

Hey all,
I hope everyone had a great time over the holidays! I certainly did!
I'm also happy to hear that the presentation was so well received (easily
the longest talk I've held so far!) and there is interest in doing it
again! I know that some couldn't attend the December meeting, and I recall
we had to cut the meeting short before we could do a demo of drawing on a
Wacom drawing tablet with Krita.
If there are enough people interested in seeing my presentation again I
could see if I can attend tomorrow, otherwise I could plan for February
instead which will give me time to refine my material as well as give more
people a chance to attend.

Hey Gang,
I hope you all had a great holidays and a happy new year! We've got a
meeting on Thursday, the 9th!
Location: WPI Campus Center Mid Century Room Rm 331 (our usual haunt)
Date / Time: January 9th, 2020 at 7PM
Topic: TBD! Let me know if you'll be attending we'll see what we might want
to do.
If more people are going to show up we could do a redo of Joshua's talk, it
was fantastic.
Another option might be to have a round table for topics people might want
to hear this year.
Obviously, if people have ideas feel free to post them to the list as well!
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off for dinner to continue the conversation.
Hope to see you there
Tim Keller

Guys,
I've got some STM8 bluepill boards and a spare knock off ST-Linkv2
programmer if anyone is interested. I was playing around with them
this weekend and the lack of a decent IR Library meant that my
interest has waned. They're cheap cheap chear, and interesting as a
way to learn more low level programming. I can give you my linux
notes if you like too!
Or if you know of a library for STM8 that does both send/receive of IR
codes, I'd love to hear about it.
I'd trade for an AVR ISP programmer instead if anyone has one, since
I'm now more interested in ATtiny 85/84/88/841 boards these days.
I won't be able to make meetings (unless maybe if you have one the
16th of this January) for a while though, so we'd have to arrange a
meetup or something.
Cheers!
John
Hey everyone,
Thank you again for letting me present on Silverblue, Toolbox, and
Flatpak for December's WLUG meeting! I've uploaded a PDF copy of the
slideshow material to my Google Drive for anyone who couldn't make it
to the meeting and/or wants to look at some of the references inside:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FJc9864buwRFS5UktivfffU7u9CySSKB
Admittedly the material itself can be difficult to understand as it was
made more to complement an oral presentation format, but I could
continue improving on the material to make it more complete if there's
enough interest, plus much development has been going on around
containers that it makes sense to update it anyway.
I hope everyone is having an excellent time enjoying the holidays!
-Josh
