Where: https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2023-02-02_Wiz2MQTT_and_other_topics


Can I make a suggestion?

Make the meeting URLs static - I've got them in a calendar (2 of them, 
in fact), so when meeting time arrives, I can look at "today's" 
calendar, or a notification from Nextcloud about the event and get the URL.


No need to search email, no need to update a repeating calendar event 
every month.



Just my 2¢.


In fact, maybe publish a calendar of events directly?

i.e. All the LUGs that I associate with (including this one) are found at:

https://nextcloud.bclug.ca/apps/calendar/p/FstPYnjs8ndwoN6Z



Thanks!

Re: [linux] Linux friendly device

[Mark Pearson]

I've been using Simplenote (https://simplenote.com/) as it works across devices 
- but I still prefer paper and pen. The reMarkable looks really cool as an 
alternative. 
I'd been tempted to get one previously and would definitely be interested in 
hearing about it - and how you use it in a Linux environment :) It looked like 
their support for Linux desktop integration was weak/non-existent which put me 
off.

Re: [linux] Linux friendly device

[Dianne Skoll]

Note-taking devices:  I either use an app on my phone called
"WriterPlus" or a notebook.  An actual paper notebook.

I take notes so seldom that buying a dedicated device for this would be
overkill.  Mostly it's just when I think of a joke and don't want to
forget it, so I write down the bare bones of the joke and flesh it out
later.

Regards,

Dianne.

I have been using my android phone for notes. But do I really want my personal 
notes going into Google 's data suction input? Not that I have any  really 
private info to safeguard. Maybe I need to also carry a reMarkable around with 
me. Good idea -- Rick
