[Sussex] Portsmouth and South East Hants LUG - virtual meet August 15th

Another virtual meeting this month, our venue is currently still closed.

Somebody had the audacity (open source joke? no, move on!) to start the
month on a Saturday which puts the third Saturday far too early in the
month! Combine this with email issues[1] (distraction, not failure to
send) and a battle with my insurance claim from February kicking into a
new gear (don't insure with LV) I have to add apologies for the later
(even than usual) notification.

The meet will be slightly later than our in person meets at 2pm to give
everyone enough time to have lunch - virtual sandwiches aren't as
filling!

To join head to:

https://meet.jit.si/plugmeet

I'm not sure whether Jitsi has issues with random people joining, but
just in case I will set a password of 'sat20'. If for some reason the
URL above has been grabbed I will update via the list and website (you
don't seem to be able to reserve them).

I use Firefox, but I have heard that some have had issues and recommend
Chrome or Chromium. There is also an app that you will be asked to
download if you are using Android or Apple (it is also available through
F-Droid).

If anyone wants to join by phone I can email a code when the meeting
starts (I don't think it gets created until then with Jitsi), but I have
no idea where you stand on call costs. It came up at the IWPCUG / IoWLUG
meet and I investigated.

See and/or hear you there - so to speak!

Keep safe.

Thanks,
Paul

[1] not the only issue, but it will teach me to use Windows only to find
my AV software silently blocks email so you think there isn't any coming
in! Avast if you are wondering, so presumably AVG will do the same.
