Next Meeting – Tuesday, April 9th, 2024, 6:30pm EST.
Join the ZOOM meeting
This month, we mourn the loss of one of our own. Craig Maloney put up a courageous battle against cancer but unfortunately, the outcome isn’t what we were hoping for.
If you’ve attended any of the MUG meetings in the last 20 or so years, you’ve seen Craig running the meetings, complete with his vast knowledge, wit and charm.
People everywhere knew and liked and appreciated Craig. He was generous with his time and advice everywhere he went.
He cannot be replaced, and we celebrate his life today.
Election for MUG Board of directors
April is the month for the election for the MUG board of
directors. Currently, we have 6 positions and with the
unfortunate passing of Craig, we have only 5 nominees.
Without a full slate of nominees, the election is pretty
simple. We just declare that all the nominees are elected.
However, if anyone would like to nominate themselves, we’d
strongly encourage them to do so.
Presentations:
This month, we have two presentations to educate and entertain you.
Py Hole by Wolf
Pi-hole: the tiny, whole network, ad-blocker that can run on
your Raspberry Pi. What it’s for, what it does, how it works,
and what else you can do with it.
Wolf has spoken many times at MUG; and is always a popular
speaker. He’s been a developer for decades, worked at many
interesting places, with many languages. But of all those
languages, Python is his favorite.
Intro to Vim by Jim McQuillan.
Vim is an extremely useful free and open source screen-based
text editor. Jim will cover the basics of how to start it,
move around within the file, make changes to your file, save
your changes and exit. If you can do that, you are well on
the way to writing great programs or documents or config
files or whatever else you want to edit. He’ll also delve
just a bit into some more intermediate aspects of the
editor, such as block selection and split screens.
Jim has been solving problems for customers since the early 80’s, mostly
in the health care industry using Unix and Linux and a variety of
programming languages. He’s the founder of the Linux Terminal Server
Project (LTSP) and he’s given talks on it all over the world.
He’s been involved with MUG since 1986.
