… otherwise known as the Hampshire Linux User Group.
This is a new version of the website, with many links to the old wiki. Please contact the webmaster with any comments, ideas, or new content.
We aim to encourage and support the use of Linux and other free operating systems.
You don't need to live or work in Hampshire to join-in: in fact about half of our members are from outside Hampshire.
The mailing list is where most of the activity happens: please click here for more details. In fact, membership of HantsLUG is defined as being registed with the mailing list, so that is where you should start.
You'll have register to add your own posts, comments, etc. to this site. The bad news is that because of increasing amounts of spam, the only way to register at the moment is by emailing the webmaster.

Hi guys.
The next meeting will be next Saturday (16th November) at QinetiQ Haslar from 2pm. For those who have not been before, the site is located on the Haslar peninsula at the South of Gosport. The postcode is PO12 2AG.
Given the nature of the site please let me know if you plan to attend, so I can let our security guards know.
Cheers,
Tim B.

chris.d, 28 August 2013 Hi guys!
I am very pleased to announce that the next meeting will be held at QinetiQ’s Haslar site at 1pm on the 7th September.
We will have limited network access (i.e. a few people may have mobile broadband) so please do not expect to be able to do installs or updates from the web.
To keep our security guys happy can you please register your interest with me by email (chairman@hantslug.org.uk) no later than Wednesday 4th September.
The “agenda” for the meeting is pretty simple:
chris.d, 13 February 2013 For our April meeting, we are privileged to be hosted at IBM Hursley. For those who haven't been before it's a great opportunity. Note that the start time is yet to be decided — watch this space and/or the mailing list for more information.
The plan is to hold the Easter debate at this meeting, but we need some speakers. The topic is (broadly) "The Future of Linux". The exact topics covered are at the discretion of the speakers, but there's plenty to go at, from mobile-space to server-space, SystemD to the Desktop.

- VoIP client recommendation such as land line/desk phones, wireless/DECT phones, softclients for PCs and mobile clients (smartphone apps)
- VoIP provider recommendations
- Common VoIP issues and a resolutions (SIP AGL, NAT, STUN, IPSEC)

imported from wiki, 10 December 2012 The first ever HantsLUG Christmas Lecture was held on Saturday 1 December in the Zepler Building at Southampton University.
The speaker was Mike Bond, of the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University, where he has been researching security in the banking system for 10 or more years.
He gave us a talk on “Hacking bank cards: 10 years of tools.” – a subject that sounded distinctly illegal to me. In fact the work on computer security done at Cambridge has been an important tool for improving the complex security measures that banks need to use. Although publicly criticising any attempts [continued…]
