This meeting will be a combined show and tell effort by a number of TLUG members.
Michael Reinsch will discuss his experiences with a LaFonera WiFi router.
Henri Servomaa will show and describe how to create a serial port controller lamp. This is useful when you want to have your computer turn on a light when a compile fails or such.
Zev Blut will show off a USB controlled cannon and how attaching a web camera plus using some open source motion detection software can be fun.
We should have some free time during this month's meeting, so if you have anything you would like to show off or get help with please feel free to do so.
Finally, we will have our yearly officer elections for President and Vice President. Edward Middleton has expressed an interest in being the next TLUG President. So in the spirit of sharing the power I am going to stand down and let him run against any other people who wish to be President. Thus, if you want to be President or Vice President this is the perfect opportunity to do so!
Lastly, if shipping goes right then the first batch of ordered TLUG shirts will arrive. So if you made a request "before" the order was made, a shirt should be waiting for you.
Other items on the agenda are: 1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source, general announcements, Q&A 2. Auction 3. Elections
All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting. Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance fees.
After the meeting, we will continue chatting over a few beers.
