<font size="+1"><font face="monospace">An excellent idea Les. And
great as it is to get out when we will be able, a half hour
drive each way can be a bit off putting.<br>
<br>
And whilst I'm here, a couple of questions I would ask are -<br>
<br>
Is there a way of mimicking cp -p when using the mouse to copy
things between windows without having to go to a terminal, i.e.
preserve timestamps etc?<br>
<br>
Although I can zoom etc using my laptop, a camera/mike to use
with my desktop would be very useful. Has anyone any
suggestions for a fairly decent Linux friendly one?<br>
<br>
And what about a decent cheap VPN?<br>
<br>
Many thanks for all/any suggestions.<br>
<br>
Roger.<br>

mailing list has been used! I hope you are keeping
well in these challenging times.

<div>A number of members have expressed an interest in
resurrecting the LUG meets, online at first and then
hopefully in person again once things return to
normal. If you are interested in joining some online
meets, please let us know.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the meantime, Wolves LUG have arranged an
online talk and have opened it up to other LUGs. If
you're looking to buy new hardware to run Linux, it
should be a useful talk.</div>

<div>John Alexander will be giving a talk on the
evening of 10th Feb entitled:<br>
<br>
Making it work - how to break incompatibility and
dependency hell for<br>
your hardware without mashing your desktop.<br>
<br>
This will be an overview of Linux features you can
use to get awkward,<br>
custom or unusual hardware working without
destroying your system or<br>
descending into madness.<br>
<br>
John is a regular with the Wolves, Shropshire,
Birmingham and NoVa LUGs<br>
with an interest in Linux, amateur radio,
satellites, hardware hacking<br>
and *attending all the LUGs*.<br>
<br>
Please share it with any other relevant groups and
on your <insert<br>
irritating flash in the pan social media here> to
help us bootstrap an<br>
audience for future events.<br>
<br>
We had planned to use Jitsi but since we're opening
this out to a wider<br>
audience we've fallen back on Zoom. Sorry if that
cuts anyone out.<br>
<br>
Date:<br>
<br>
Meeting starts at 19:30 GMT, Weds 10th February.<br>
<br>
The talk will start around 20:30.<br>
