[Sussex] Moot Attendance List April 29 - now £3

[frank james]

I shall be away and will be unable to attend. I have ekiga working well and it seems that
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.

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.

The last Thursday is nearly upon us, so:

Please add your name below if you would like to attend the April moot.

I have been advised by the manager of the Holbrook Club that the 
entrance fee will now be £3. Here is what Tim has to say:

--------------------------------------------------
Fay,

I trust your meeting went okay yesterday?

As it has been some years since the original agreement for your group
to use The Holbrook Club was negotiated, I believe it is now time to
review the arrangement.

With this in mind, and whilst we are very happy for your group to
continue to use our facilities, we do need to increase the entry charge
from £2.00 per person to £3.00 per person to help cover the cost of the
room hire and facilities usage your group enjoys.

I trust this increase will not prove too onerous and that we will see
you all again in April as normal

Can you please brief your colleagues that the entry charge with effect
from your April 2010 meeting will be £3.00?

Thank you for your co-operation and support. Tim

I sincerely hope this will not put anyone off attending. The Holbrook 
club has served us well and has good facilities.

Now, more than ever, we need to devise a good series of talks.

We are still without a mootmaster to arrange these and direct the 
moots. Gavin has been holding the fort in this area and I have been 
helping a little.

I am happy to remain as attendance list manager. The prospective 
mootmaster would provide me with the list of talks to promote.

In the meantime, here is the tentative schedule I am proposing:

For the next three months: a main talk, followed by short segments on 
three ongoing projects we seem to have in common, or vice versa.

1. Demonstration of MonoDevelop.
Mono is the Open Source implementation of .NET and MonoDevelop is 
a development front end that enables you to create applications.
I will demonstrate a simple console game that causes images to move 
around on the screen. The player must click on the images and the app 
must be programmed to work out what is going on.
Even if you've never programmed before, you will see how simple the 
concepts are. MonoDevelop is a joy to use.
Why not download Mono and MonoDevelop and bring them to the moot 
with a usb drive?
You can copy the game, I will show you how to make simple changes (like 
speeding up or slowing down or altering the number of images) and you 
can see the results in your new game version.

2. Internet access in meetings: how best to share wifi access.
3. MythTV: what hardware is needed? What are the best buys?
4. Ekiga: How to set it up. Any tips on sound issues.

I will post these last three up as several topics to see if we get any responses

When replying with your name, please only include the text below this point..
