Hello everyone!  This is just a reminder that the March LUG meeting  will be at 6:30pm on Thursday, March 12th. Directions: When you arrive at Rasmussen College take the elevator to the third floor then turn right and walk straight into the meeting room (Boardroom). Tonight’s presentations are:

  • blink(1) mk2 – we will give everyone a taste of a simple hardware device used by some large companies as a status indicator. Its simple, fun, and can be very useful.
  • Bash Programming – we will delve into the scripting challenge results with the challenge thrown out to everyone at last months meeting.  Should be an interesting set of discussions.
  • Linux Graphics Software – Tonight we will look at a relatively unknown,  OS agnostic graphics tool that can be used for a large number tasks.
  • Linux News – Bring your favorite Linux news highlights of the last month and we will discuss.

Hope to see you all there!

The February  RRLug meeting had 12 members attending.  We met at the usual time of  6:30pm in the Rasmussen College Boardroom.   Had a couple of new faces in the crowd! We discussed the following:

  • Odroid-C1 – tonight Sam Williams gave everyone a look at the new quad-core arm-based single-board computer (SBC), the Odroid-C1  from HardKernel. We discussed many of the pros and cons of this new computer, as well as compared it to the Raspberry Pi models B/B+.
  • Bash Programming – we started looking  at a simple, yet powerful use of the Bash scripting environment. A challenge was thrown  for any member interested, but the goal was to produce a script that would print out all the meeting dates in a year for a monthly meeting given an arbitrary year. Next month we will look at some of the results.
  • Linux News – Bring your favorite Linux news highlights of the last month and we will discuss.

Hope to see you all there!
