[Newark] Thanks :)

[Craig Lynch]

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks for attending to all those that 
made it last night. I hope you had a good time both newbies and 
regulars. Katherine particularly enjoyed sharing a little bit of her 
hobby with people.

We covered a lot of topics between us: 
The history of Linux and origins of Unix too. 

Security and privacy in the modern world. 

New graphics card releases.

My arcade cabinet project.

Pokèmon Go and it's clever uses of technology. 

Cyanogen and what lies ahead for CyanogenOS.

The Windows 10 free upgrade deadline.

Big company sales (ARM & Yahoo!).

Which
 was almost all of the talking points I had gathered for the evening! 
The final one was more server related; the new IBM Power8 Architecture 
processor, in a 2U with 32DIMM slots, 14DD slot 4PCIe3 slot and two 
redundant power units for just under $5k. Incredible pricing for the 
compute power available.

Hope to see you at the next meet. :)
