[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] PLUG February 2nd In-Person Meeting SOFT Announcement
All, I am still waiting on the announcement text from the presenter but here is a second soft announcement of the February meeting: Topic: Ted Mittelstaedt on Zoneminder, the open source video recording/surveillance system Date: February 2nd, 2023 Time: 7PM as per tradition Setup: 6:30PM with Kevin volunteering. We need to set up chairs Address: 5500 SW Dosch Rd, Portland, OR 97239 It is the first building on the left with two driveways up from the street and can be found here on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/5500+SW+Dosch+Rd,+Portland,+OR+97239 This is in Hillsdale and has the advantage that I have a key and control over the A/V. PSU became hostile under pressure from the homeless and most public spaces such as libraries follow "business hours", as someone kindly pointed out. The ISP will be making a mail transition and worse case, this is the ONLY announcement until that is worked out. :-) Rules: Please wear a mask unless actively presenting/announcing Please help with chairs if you are able bodied Please do not leave visible valuables in your car. We have had one smash and grab situation in the last six months but it involved a highly-visible purse in the front seat of a car. (Don't do that!) Please contribute! Officially they want a fee but I volunteer extensively. We'll figure something out. I cannot say if this is long-term venue, but I have been involved with it for decades. All the best, Michael Dexter PLUG Volunteer ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG-announce mailing list PLUG-announce@pdxlinux.org https://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce

Re: [PLUG] Alternative Meeting Locations
I posted a link (earlier in this thread) with some discussion of MultCoLib as a venue. I just checked the hours for Central Branch, and they close at 6pm on Thursdays. Some other branches, e.g. Hollywood Branch, are open until 8pm on Thursdays. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net On Wed, Jan 25, 2023 at 11:46 AM Rich Shepard wrote: > On Wed, 25 Jan 2023, Russell Senior wrote: > > > PSU was becoming hostile to outsiders even before the pandemic.

Re: [PLUG] Alternative Meeting Locations
For at least two decades (the length of time I've been attending PLUG meetings) the General Monthly Meeting has been 7pm on the first Thursday of the Month (although we occasionally needed to work around holidays, like July 4th). We haven't met in person since March 2020. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net On Wed, Jan 25, 2023 at 11:23 AM Sasha Hakakha wrote: > I'm confused, is there a set scheduled meeting time? > > On Wed, Jan 25, 2023, 10:38 AM Mark Allyn wrote: > > > I thought we meet at PSU. > > > > On Wed, Jan 25, 2023 at 10:22 AM Michael Dexter > > wrote: > > > > > All, > > > > > > On 1/25/23 6:57 AM, Kevin Williams wrote: > > > > Alternative meeting locations would be fine.

You need a card key (i.e. be an active student or faculty/staff) to get into any of their buildings, even their library. I volunteer as an industry advisor for Portland State Aerospace Society/OreSat and building access even with such an association is problematic. I'd personally love to go back to hosting meetings at Portland State, but figuring out how to get the general public inside remains an unsolved problem. Does the main Multnomah County library have available, accessible meeting rooms? It's not far from PSU. Rich

Re: [PLUG] Alternative Meeting Locations
I'm confused, is there a set scheduled meeting time?

[PLUG] Mailling bounces messages from non-existant addresses
I have a script that uses mail to send messages to my notification list addresses. Some addresses are folks who've change employers or retired and I removed their addresses from the list. Yet, three of those no longer on the address list produce bounces from the recipient's mail server because they're no longer there. I grep'd all files in the parent directory and cannot find those addresses anywhere on my system. What might cause messages to go to those missing addresses? Does 'mail' have a cache that might include them? TIA, Rich
Re: [PLUG] Alternative Meeting Locations
Hi, Alternative meeting locations would be fine. Are we thinking this for the March meeting and after? Are we still good for a 6:30 start time at the Hillsdale location? Kevin
