We started off the meeting with 8 present and late arrival took the count to 9.  We started off the meeting with just open conversation and first up was a conversation on cell phone battery life as one of our members had a new Pixel Phone. We also discussed some of the limitations of the new Android 9 operating system in connecting to PC and support for ext4 file systems that was missing.  He was going to try some other approaches to transferring files from ext4 linux formatted media.

IPCUG ChromiumOS Demo - Clint Tinsley - December 13th, 2018

These are the meeting presentation notes prepared for our meeting on November 20th, 2018:

Why Build Your Own?

Open meeting 10/17/2018

We started off the meeting 8 members present.  General conversation included the advances in Smart Phone Cameras, how good of pictures they take, the conventience, and advanced functions.  Smart Phones have replaced the point and shoot cameras that were so poplular a couple years ago even though they have a loyal user base, program features, along with advanced features not found in a Smart Phone.

We had a full house and Clint spent a little over 2 hours in presenting Knoppix 8.2.  These are his presentation notes:

We had 8 in attendance including our presenter for the evening.

I am going to take a difference approach to reporting the meetings, moving from my usual detailed report to a simple summary.  I am hoping this will drive attendance as I know some who just reply on my reports rather than attending the meeting.  Bottom line, if you want to know what is presented and discussed at the meeting, please join us.
