Next Meeting – Tuesday, January 13, 2026, 6:30pm EDT.
Internet and TV at 30,000ft
Have you been on a Jetblue flight and noticed how every seat on every airplane has inflight entertainment and wifi?
This month we’re going to talk about how that works. Last month, we had Jim McQuillan talking about IPv6 and this month, we get another McQuillan. Jim’s brother Ken is “Manager IFE&C Operations and Implementation” at JetBlue airlines. That means, he’s in charge of in flight Entertainment and Connectivity. It’s all his baby!
Ken will get into some of the details about how you can have super-fast internet while traveling at 500mph 6 miles up in the sky. There’s lots of cool stuff happening there.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to stream it on Youtube so if you want to catch this meeting, and you know you do, you’ll need to catch it live by attending our Zoom meeting.
Also, we’ll be doing a short presentation on a Unix/Linux topic. This month we’ll be talking about the direnv extension for your shell.
