[Swlug] Morgan Green Introduction - New SWLUG Member

[Daniel Morris]

Hi David,

Of course you'd be welcome to join. I don't think capacity on Jitsi
has ever been the problem, more the usual audio mixer issues for mic,
headset, speakers etc. and ropey bandwidth.

The Jitsi instance has recently introduced a kind of foyer once a
meeting has started. I think anyone in can let anyone else in after
them (opposite to pulling the ladder up behind for student loans), so
do wait around for a few minutes if someone misses the nag and/or send
a message to the list.

 Daniel

I run a Plex Server with Ubuntu MATE, i7 3770 (old but still works!) 16Gb RAM, Nvidia Quadro k2200 GPU, and the storage gained thanks to the pandemic I now have 60Tb. My 2 laptops run Ubuntu MATE, and the kids PC's also. My 5 year old daughter just flies around the Desktop and my 8 year old son can't get enough of learning it and telling his teacher all about it!
