The next meeting of the Portsmouth LUG will be held on Saturday 19th December
from 13:00 to 18:00 at the Broadoak Sports and Social Club.**
We shall have our annual Christmas "party". The theme will be Pies, Pi's and
Zero cheer: there will be Mince pies, Raspberry Pi's (raspberry pies,
anyone?) and at least one Raspberry Pi Zero; not to mention some Penguins
(well, it is a PLUG meeting). So something for every level of geekdom.
I hope to have displays and talks on or about some or all of: Pac-man in
lights created by Raspberry Pi, a robot or robot arm, controlled by Raspberry
Pi, Christmas tree lights controlled by an Arduino and a collection of Pi's
with associated hats. Anyone else with Pi delights (or even pie delights)
please bring them along.
Come and relax for a bit away from the frenetic preparations. If your spouse
or children might object, bring your spouse and children too! Our age range
so far is 6*-84. There is plenty of room either side to extend it!!
Then there will, I hope, be the usual mutual help sessions. We have been
doing well with solving problems, even painful new "features" introduced by
some of our distros. (That was a "feature", Luke, not a bug or a
problem :-/ )
We shall, Deo volente, insha'Allah, and with a following wind, have our own
fast Internet connection. We are setting it up tomorrow. So installations,
updates and demonstrations will be possible. Add-ons to Atom will even
download and install before Christmas 2016. ;-) And there will be plenty of
bandwidth and a large number of IP addresses available, so everyone should be
able to connect, and at a decent speed.
I look forward to seeing all of you for the last meeting of 2015.
Lisi
