Past Meetings – Page 25 – Rock River Linux Users Group

The January RRLug meeting had a record turn-out. Needless to say the boardroom was packed! We met at the usual time of 6:30pm in the Rasmussen College Boardroom. We had a few new faces in the crowd tonight. As usual we had several different presentations on the agenda.

Antergos Linux – Sam Williams discussed this new distribution based on Arch Linux. We got to see how easy the installation process is compared to vanilla Arch.
Top Tools – Sam Williams discussed some more performance tools that bear the name “Top”. There was a lot of general interest in these tools.
Security Updates – Sam Williams discussed additional issues related to last months security project
Linux News – the group discussed the current Linux news from the last month.
Arduino – William Ruehl showed us a new Arduino display he had recently purchased. It looks like it will be really useful!

It was a great meeting and a nice way to start 2014!

The December RRLug meeting had 14 people attending. We met at the usual time of 6:30pm in the Rasmussen College Boardroom. We had a few new faces in the crowd tonight. As usual we had several different presentations on the agenda.

Linux Security Device – Sam Williams demonstrated a commercial grade wireless onion router, based on a Raspberry Pi. The device could be used as a secure WAP attached to any network.
Arduino Uno Development – William Ruehl presented a project he made using an Arduino Uno and developed almost entirely under Linux. The project is a timer for his reloading bench to control his vibratory tumbler. The vibratory tumbler is used to polish brass shell casings prior to reloading. It was a very interesting presentation! Thanks for volunteering Bill!
Current News – We also went through and discussed F/OSS news items from the past month

It was a great meeting and a nice way to end 2013!
