[Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting Wed. Nov. 20, 7 PM

[Andy Stewart]

HI everybody,

This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Wednesday, 
November 20, 2002 at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA.  

I'm open for topics to be discussed at this meeting.  Ideally, I'm hoping 
somebody will volunteer at the last minute to talk to the group about some 
topic of interest.  Surprisingly enough, this happens frequently and works 
out well when all is said and done, so I'm not in a panic (yet).  My only 
problem with this is that some folks come to a meeting only if the topic is 
announced in advance and it is of interest to them.

So, what do you say, gang?  Here are some ideas which I had:

a) Does anybody want to demo their scanner under Linux?  How about a live 
install of SANE ? 

b) Linux software for (grand)kids - I"ve seen TuxPaint and KTuberling, there 
must be others. Inquiring kids want to know!

c) TiVO - doesn't that run Linux?  Can you do any interesting hacks to the 
Linux software that could be demonstrated at our meeting?

d) MAME - some guys at work built a MAME machine.  Maybe you did, too?  Tell 
us about it, or better yet, bring the machine to the meeting.

e) LTSP - this one might be a bit involved if the demo was from scratch, and 
would involve around 2 or 3 computers to be useful.  Does anybody have any 
experience with this?

f) Do you have other ideas?  Let the group know what they are!

The "live demo" meetings have been well received in the past, especially if 
some problem crops up during the demo (which makes us demo folks squirm 
uncomfortably, to the amusement of the audience!).

I hope somebody volunteers to speak at the next meeting.  It'll be pretty 
boring otherwise, and nobody wants that to be the case.  I've been working 
flat out for the last couple of months and have no time to prepare anything 
for ths meeting.  

If you want to volunteer, send me or the group e-mail ASAP.  You'll be glad 
you did.  :-)

Thanks!

Andy
