18:00 on Saturday 17th October at the Broadoaks Sports and Social
Club, Airport Service Road, Hilsea.
http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/venue.html
It will, as usual, be a bring a box meeting, so bring all your problems and
we'll see if we can solve them. Bring your new kit to show it off. Come for
a chat with like-minded people. Come for an excellent social occasion.
There will be a talk on FOSS and Astrophotography, given by Matthew Withers.
http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/talks/
Matthew is a PhD student at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation which
is part of the University of Portsmouth. He is interested primarily in
Cosmology and Astrophysics - large scale structure, dark energy, dark matter,
inflation, galaxy evolution, theories of cosmology... he is especially
interested in the combination of theoretical models and observational data
that work to constrain each other.
He is a keen amateur astronomer/astrophotographer and Linux enthusiast. He is
very passionate about Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) and contributes to
open source software where he can.
We have at least one person coming to have Linux installed. He set out to
come last month, but his car broke down definitively, when he had nearly
reached us. He may have difficulty in getting to us this month, anyhow plus
computer; unless he has bought a laptop, which he was thinking of doing. He
had loaded his desktop in his car last month! He will be coming from
Gosport, if he is coming. Is anyone in a position to help?
As always, anyone else with problems? If it might help if someone else
brought some equipment, or might need special expertise, please mention it
in advance. And if you can help, then please come to the meeting to do so!
Hayden, if you are coming could you bring your Zalman device? It has been
such a help. And could anyone with install media for Linux Mint - sorry, I
have no more information - bring it
