The next Portsmouth LUG meeting will be at the Broadoaks Sports and Social
Club* on Saturday 18th April 13:00 to 18:00.
Do come. If you haven't been before, we are a friendly lot and would love to
see you. All are welcome.
It is a bring-a-box meeting, so bring a 'box', bring a notebook,
bring anything that might run Linux, or just bring yourself and enjoy
socialising/learning/teaching or simply chilling out! Bring any Linux or
Open Source problems, come to have help installing Linux or simply to pick up
installation media. The Easter Bunny has gone Orthodox this year, and rumour
has it that he may visit.
Andy Vawer will talk to us about networking, including wireless, and the
Internet: firewalls, routers, VPNs, tunnels; what they are and how they work.
Those who know Andy know that he is nearly as good a vet (his day job) as he
is a Linux guru, so his talk should be of interest to beginner and expert
alike.
I shall try to be there at about 12:15. If I am the only one left at
any time after 5:00, I shall go. So if you want to arrive ultra late, make
sure that you let me know!
See you there,
Lisi

"Other basic details"
Facilities for talks are good, other facilities adequate. There are some
power points, but not enough, but they 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.
There is a bar, which also serves tea and coffee, but if you want more food
than crisps or a chocolate bar you will need to bring it.
There is plenty of parking just opposite the club, and Hilsea railway
station is immediately adjacent. If coming by car, please note that Norway
Road is at a higher level than Airport Service Road, and flies over it.
If the barrier is determinedly down in the extended part of the car park, and
you need to get in, press the button for the intercom and say why you are
there. The barrier will then be raised.
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.
The sign-in list will, as usual, be at the back of the room. Please do not
forget to sign it. The gold moneybox will also be at the back of the room.
