I have ekiga working well and it seems that<br>Fedora 12 is a good distro to use. I only discovered this yesterday having bashed away with ububtu, mandriva and debian 5. Debian 5 was completly useless at getting a web cam going.<br><br>I think £3 is a lot for a room with noisy ball games going on next door. However I will pay it when I am able to come along. I hope that you have an interesting meeting.<br><br>Frank<br><br>--- On <b>Sun, 25/4/10, Fay Zee <i><sussex@eglug.org.uk></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Fay Zee <sussex@eglug.org.uk><br>Subject: [Sussex] Moot Attendance List April 29 - now £3<br>To: "Sussex LUG" <sussex@mailman.lug.org.uk><br>Date: Sunday, 25 April, 2010, 22:12<br><br><div

you please brief your colleagues that the entry charge with effect<br>from your April 2010 meeting will be £3.00?<br><br>Thank you for your co-operation and support. Tim<br>--------------------------------------------------<br><br>I sincerely hope this will not put anyone off attending. The Holbrook <br>club has served us well and has good facilities.<br><br>Now, more than ever, we need to devise a good series of talks.<br><br>We are still without a mootmaster to arrange these and direct the <br>moots. Gavin has been holding the fort in this area and I have been <br>helping a little.<br><br>I am happy to remain as attendance list manager. The prospective <br>mootmaster would provide me with the list of talks to promote.<br><br>In the meantime, here is the tentative schedule I am proposing:<br><br>For the next three months: a main talk, followed by short segments on <br>three ongoing projects we seem to have in common, or vice versa.<br><br>1.
Demonstration of MonoDevelop.<br>Mono is the Open Source implementation of .NET and MonoDevelop is <br>a development front end that enables you to create applications.<br>I will demonstrate a simple console game that causes images to move <br>around on the screen. The player must click on the images and the app <br>must be programmed to work out what is going on.<br>Even if you've never programmed before, you will see how simple the <br>concepts are. MonoDevelop is a joy to use.<br>Why not download Mono and MonoDevelop and bring them to the moot <br>with a usb drive?<br>You can copy the game, I will show you how to make simple changes (like <br>speeding up or slowing down or altering the number of images) and you <br>can see the results in your new game version.<br><br>2. Internet access in meetings: how best to share wifi access.<br>3. MythTV: what hardware is needed? What are the best buys?<br>4. Ekiga: How to set it up. Any tips on sound
