From rah at settrans.net Fri Jun 1 22:49:46 2012 From: rah at settrans.net (Bob Ham) Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2012 22:49:46 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Liverpool LUG meeting with Michael Dorrington - The Free Software Movement and the FreedomBox - Wednesday 6th June 2012 Message-ID: On Wednesday, 6th June 2012, the Liverpool Linux User Group¹ will be meeting. Michael Dorrington will be talking about free software² and discussing the FreedomBox project³ in a talk entitled "The Free Software Movement and the FreedomBox". Michael is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation⁴ and runs Manchester Free Software⁵. We will meet at the Liverpool Social Centre⁶ at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. After the talk, we will venture to a local drinking establishment for beverages and further discussion. Liverpool Social Centre is next door to the News from Nowhere bookshop on Bold Street⁷. To access the centre, press the bell for the basement on the left of the door and someone will come up and let you in. Parking is usually available on Bold Street itself but failing that, there is a car park opposite the Zanzibar Club on Seel Street⁸. Another month and another talk that promises to be stimulating and insightful :-) ¹ http://liv.lug.org.uk/ ² http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html ³ http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ ⁴ http://www.fsf.org/ ⁵ http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Manchester ⁶ http://www.liverpoolsocialcentre.org/ ⁷ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402426&lon=-2.976481&zoom=18 ⁸ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402211&lon=-2.979428&zoom=18 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The developer went out of business over 15 years ago. I want to put a new web based costing package. They are very cost sensitive, but it must be done. ie the machine has to be attached to a certain type of HP printer to work, doesn't work on other machines (well I have made it work in a way but it is down right nasty the way I made it work) I know there a few products out there, but the problem is there are multiple formulas, configurations and dependencies etc. (i.e. it ain't a simple case of put in number of hours etc) I'd like to also be able to do top 10 customers, bottom 10 etc etc. Can anyone suggest a suitable package to investigate ?

This is a Saturday meeting so there's no talk. We will meet at The Shipping Forecast² on Slater Street³ at 12.30pm. As always, a fluffy Tux penguin toy will be on display because it's cute and cool, and joining it now will be an even cuter GNU toy :-) Parking is available in a car park opposite the Zanzibar Club on Seel Street, just around the corner. In case you need it, my mobile number is 0783 034 5001. Cheers, Bob PS, Our very own Dan Lynch will be playing a gig with his band 20lb Sounds at the Zanzibar Club later Saturday evening⁴. Some of us may stay on and migrate to the gig. ¹ http://liv.lug.org.uk/ ² http://www.theshippingforecastliverpool.com/ ³ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402496&lon=-2.979353&zoom=18 ⁴ http://www.thezanzibarclub.com/page2.html -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This month Tony Burrows will continue his series on Java3D. He will demonstrate how to code a basic scene using Linux and a simple text editor like Vim. Other text editors are available! Before anyone gets upset, cool your jets hehe :) The meetings are held in the basement of the Liverpool Social Centre, underneath the News From Nowhere bookshop on Bold St, Liverpool City Centre. The meeting is listed as 7pm but the talk will start around 7:30pm to give people time to arrive. Meetings are open to all and we have a warm informal atmosphere. If you've never been before you're especially welcome. Come along and say hello. Following the meeting the custom is to retire to a local watering hole such as the Shipping Forecast for drinks and chat. More info about the group can be found at - http://livlug.org.uk Unfortunately I have a prior commitment myself that night so won't be able to make the talk. I should be along later I hope to catch up with everyone. If you have trouble finding the place or want any more information feel free to contact me via the details below. Even if I'm not there at the time I'll be able to put you in touch with someone who can help.
