Our next meeting will be Saturday, 21st June from 13:00 - 18:00, in the
Broadoaks Social Club.
http://www.broadoaksocialclub.net/where.html
It would be great to see a crowd of you, and even better if some of you could
bring open source problems, ideally accompanied by the boxes on which they
are running. Or bring a box and show us some new Open Source marvel or
curiosity! It is, after all, a bring-a-box meeting. ;-)
There is plenty of room and some power points, which can be extended by the
extension leads some of us sometimes remember to bring. (Hint, hint!)
Switches would also be useful. There is Wi-Fi, but it is, shall we say,
problematic (and slow). There is also ethernet, but again not very fast (2
Meg) and the room has, if they have not been pinched, homeplugs.
James Titcumb from PHP Hants will be doing a talk on "The State of PHP in
2014"

PHP has been around since 1995, which means it has been powering the web for
nearly two decades. It is one of the top web scripting languages, and is used
on countless websites. What is new in the world of PHP and why is this
language, that many seem quick to dismiss, so popular? In this talk, we’ll
look at some of the landmark achievements of PHP, why it’s still gaining
popularity, and also a glimpse into what the future might hold for the world
of PHP.

Any other volunteers for talks?? There is free beer in it!
Tea, coffee and a full bar are available, but please note that **alcohol can
only be bought by club members**. Temporary membership is available for £1,
or you can ask one of the three of us who are members to do the buying for
you. Food on a Saturday is sparse unless preordered. (Scratchings, crisps
etc.)
For newcomers:
There is plenty of parking just opposite the club, and Hilsea railway
station is immediately adjacent.
The door to the club will probably be locked. If so, you will need to
ring the buzzer and ask for the Linux meeting. Go up the stairs and
through the bar to the door at the back left corner of the bar.
I shall aim to be there not later than 12:30.
The gold moneybox will as usual be at the back of the room.
**Voluntary** contributions welcome. Recommended amount: £3:00:
which, being interpreted, means in the range £0.00 to £<infinity>.
We do have sundry expenses from time to time, which this fund covers.
