Hants LUG February 2013 Meeting February 2, 2013

Hi guys,

The february meeting is this Saturday (where did January go?) in Building 59
at Southampton University, from 1pm.

Please send your MAC addresses to Chris Malton by Wednesday if you wish to
have WiFi access.

From the recent mailing list traffic, we seem to have lots of interest, and a
few offers of talks/demos. The following is not definitive, but so far we have:

Rich Bensley - Starting with MySQL
Tim B - From Windows 7 to Linux - Basic setup and CLI (on request).
Chris Malton - Doing cool streaming stuff involving servers, PIs and networks.
[I presume, Chris. - Unconfirmed]

We will also have a Raspberry PI to play with, as we did last month.

Please don't feel that you have to be an expert to come to the meeting,
experience is not a pre-requisite!

See you there,

Tim B.

-------------------------------

Couple of admin points:

First of all, the MAC address deadline is now no longer in effect! Hoorah! Simply rock up, find me, and ask me to register you.
However, it's preferable to mail me in advance, as then you'll have your accounts ready to go when you get there.

Secondly, currently the Mountbatten Atrium North entrance is currently shut due to a safety issue. Please use the Mountbatten South entrance this weekend. Signage will be in place accordingly.

Now, onto talks, and yes, hopefully, I'll have something to present.

It should be a 3-part talk covering the following:
- Technology in sport
- Real-time Python
- The basics of Raspberry Pi and Media (and why you should, or shouldn't!)

It's expected to be a 30-minute slot max (~5-10 mins on each topic).
I'm happy to go into further depth on some parts of the topics upon request.
Don't take me as an expert on any of these, because I'm not - but there's projects I've got on the go which you'll find out details of on Saturday during the talk.

Regards,

Chris
