RGB, team:
While on the topic of uncommon equipment choices, ...
I do have a mobile device. But I don't have a working machine with
Microsoft's OS on it.
What do you run your tax preparation app on? Ufile and such only work on
Microsoft's OS. Run it in a VM?
Run Ufile / TurboTax in Wine?
Do it on a paper form?
Or the worst choice: at a web site?
cheers -- Rick

Ok, I'll propose to meet at the Royal Oak. I'll suggest the
Wellington/Hinton location because there seem to be more people in the
west end. (I can see a Royal Oak from my home office here, but I'm east
of parliament...)
That said, if anyone wishes to arrange a physical get together with others,
then they can do that, and join the rest of us on the jitsi meeting.
I won't have any mobile device with me.
RGB: Just to be unambiguous here. Are you saying
a) you're leaving your phone at home? or
I don't have a mobile device.
b) that when you booked the venue, you were unable to ascertain whether
there was a usable internet connection for connecting to a jitsi meeting? or
No idea.
c) you won't be joining the jitsi meeting? or
*I* can't join any online meeting because I don't have a mobile device.
d) something else I have not been able to imagine?
I am hoping others are also craving some in-person interaction and will
join me at this venue. I'll aim for 18:30. If they happen to have a
mobile device and can join the jitsi meeting, then we will join the rest
online.
Bottom line, should our assumption be that we cannot rely on your
contributing to a jitsi discussion about CentOS?
I will if someone else with a mobile device shows up and chooses to join
the jitsi discussion.
This follows the previous discussion ideas about alternating online and
in-person meetings. I can't imagine that I'm the only one in this
position. The dynamics are different in person, and I am seeking that
type of interaction because we haven't had that for 2.5 years.
Katie: Will you be joining the jitsi meeting to contribute your piece? This
is so I know how much needs doing to prepare back up topics, JIC.
Thanks
Tug
The link will follow, before Thursday's meeting.
