The next meeting of the Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Linux User Group will be next Saturday, 15th March 2017, from 13:00 to 18:00+, at Broad Oak Sports and Social Club. http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/venue.html http://www.broadoaksocialclub.net/where.php
We shall have our usual Bring a Box meeting. As it is Easter Saturday, rumour has it that the Easter Bunny might take an hour or two off from organising egg hunts at National Trust properties, to come on a brief visit. We shall have our usual plate of sandwiches for those who are actually hungry! The Raspberry Pi project may finally take off :-), and anyway I am asking people to bring their Raspberry Pi's and show us what they are doing with them. Two people have already agreed, so come on the rest of you! Let us have a Raspberry Pi fest. :-) To which end, HDMI cables and HDMI to VGA adapters requested, along with any adapters people can dream up, just in case. A short talk on writing/designing a GUI using C++ is in preparation and may have matured for next Saturday – I am hoping so. More short or lightening talks requested/welcomed. I shall have a “new” netbook, currently burdened with Windows 7, on which I am aiming to put Stretch, perhaps without systemd, and TDE 14, and possibly also Mate. As the donor pointed out to me, I am not inconvenienced by the demise of Unity as I wouldn't have been putting it on the netbook anyway. Hopefully other things will be happening, and there will be much Linux/Open Source/IT chat and information exchange. If you haven't been before, give us a try. We are a friendly bunch and welcome new visitors and long-standing attenders alike. Experience not necessary!
