In Main Meeting Room
Time: 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Innovating your own solutions in GNU Linux.
Moved the backup data for Mint time shift.
I asked what the Dec 12 meeting was going to be about? The response:
Yes, I have the latest LTS Linux Mint but is anyone able to show us something else interesting or even better? I happen to have been looking into a Ubuntu flavor a customer of mine specifically requested.
Rather than do another Linux Distribution demo I took the opportunity to fix or repair a multi-boot laptop of mine that was developing some issues.
My chosen solution may also demonstrate some of the concepts well.
Oh, also I am ecstatic at having a working interim solution towards my goals.
Who would like to meetup Downtown and try out the New Modern Main Calgary Public Library facilities?
They have 30 meeting rooms of various sizes so in future it could be feasible to have multiple channels of interest going on at the same time if desired?

See Map below! zoom in for detail.
Getting there:
Calgary Transit seems the best way to get there.
Unless you have your own parking spot you may find may find the Parking Authorities costs high in the downtown core. There is a drop off point [map pin] and special needs elevator on the south east side via 8 Ave SE, across from a small pay for lot. Also another larger parking lot starting a block more to the east.
Image elevator entrance and exit above near drop off point at SE side:
Read any parking instructions carefully and be prepared to pay. I might be walking from outside the downtown area. Good exercise for me:)
June 13… It is only one week away from the AGM and there were minimal comments about elections so far.
Those new new to and revisiting GNU/Linux seem the fastest growing part of our group.
I would like to see information for computer fundamentals, followed by things specific to GNU/Linux. What ever I contribute will likely be GPLv3 licensed and epub or other open formats to share freely. The very nature of collaborative Linux is inclusive by nature so all are welcome.
We have seating for 40 people and we hope to end up with much more than a quorum.
Please note:
Additions to the club bank account signatory should happen as soon as the bank completes their paper work from our May 31 Letter of direction.
In an effort to be thorough in research I find I have to back off somewhat for now. Other technical volunteers stepping forward will be greatly appreciated. Otherwise things may take longer….
Interested in GNU/Linux?
Do you only see the possibilities and not the limitations?
Now is a good time to get involved.
Date: June 20, 2018
Time: 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Place: Nose Hill Library – 1530 Northmount Drive NW, T2L 0G6, Brentwood
The Lot on the east side of the Library building does extend to the West side so you should likely find a spot. You will have to leave the way you came in. I did not see an entrance on the west lot. Handicapped Parking is available.
Place: Louise Riley Library — Meeting Room 1
This meeting room is located across the parking lot in a separate building from Louise Riley Library. The address is 1920 14 Ave NW. My mark pin did not stick yet so just look for the building a little north of the Library
Time: 5:40 to 8:00 PM booked
Meeting to start by 6:00 PM
Main:
A Very Popular Linux Mint Computer Operating System – Programs Included
An honest commentary from John who was searching for a solid replacement form Windows 7 before support is pulled by MS
More:
We have started exploring for our selves rather than telling others what to do.
Tinkering at electronic tools toward collaborative meetings….
Inclusivity goes well with GNU/Linux, FLOSS, variety and collaboration
No need to discourage peoples silos of interests
safety/security concerns
We are see a diverse group starting to build. Mm, this should be interesting
Smaller groups have been meeting informally and more often then just the monthly meeting, in coffee shops friendly to digital connection or sometimes privately at some ones home.
Meeting at the Library has worked well to let every one see what is being shown by use of their large screen TV display for those who have problems seeing clearly over someones shoulder.
People showing up say they’re at a beginning level yet are not a stranger to the computer. We have a range of users so those interested in the command line or server side should be able to link up too.
Bring your own view points and lets share ideas. Thank you for respecting other points of view
Tell us your favorite applications. Fresh new ones are showing up in our modern GNU/Linux distributions.
