Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Hour Friday
Hi all, Huge thanks to Cody for asking us and giving us a gentle push to attend the meeting. I'd also like to thank Phil for taking us to Garten, we picked up what looks like a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad Core-i5 from 2013. I'm busy installing Ubuntu on it right now and can't believe we got it for $60. It was great meeting everyone and although we're normally not the most social, we really did have a good time and loved finally getting to meet the community. I will definitely be checking the retro gaming links. Not sure if it will be the 3rd or the 17th that we attend the next meeting, I'm thinking the 3rd but I will let everyone know before hand. Thanks again, looking forward to next time.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Hour Friday
Hi all, We had a total of 6 members attend tonight's meeting, and had a great time at Broadway Coffeehouse. Big thanks to Cody for asking Che and Linda to attend, and for creating our event page. It was great to have met Che, Linda, and Tom. We covered a wide range of topics; Linode.com - A Virtual Private Server (VPN) service, Powerline - A status line plugin for Vim, Termite - An easy to use and configure RS232 terminal program, Recalbox.com - A retro-gaming operating systems with Kodi already included, and Recalbox runs on Raspberry Pi. Plus various ways to install Ubuntu in order to lock-it-down making it more secure. During the meeting, I promised I'd include some links to retro arcade buttons, for that true authentic arcade feel. The i-PAC2 is a USB "keyboard encoder" with 32 inputs and support for trackball and spinner. Is fully programmable key code set. The i-PAC2 looks to the host PC as a standard USB keyboard, which I really like because there is no drivers to install. The Mini-PAC is similar to i-PAC2 except Mini supports PS/2 via optional USB to PS/2 adapter. The i-PAC2 and Mini-PAC can be found at ultimarc.com. Here is where I've found some other arcade stuff, just do a search for "arcade button", or "concave button" while at these sites. Mouser: www.mouser.com Concave Button - various colors, with Microswitch for $1.95/ea. Note: Mouser purchases their buttons from Sparkfun, and sells them for the same SRP. Sparkfun: www.sparkfun.com Concave Button - various colors, with Microswitch for $1.95/ea. Banggood.com: www.banggood.com Arcade button - various colors, with Microswitch for $1.69/ea. Bob's parts: is the least expensive.. http://www.therealbobroberts.net/parts.html#buttons Happ "Microswitch Pushbutton Complete" - various colors, with Microswitch for $1.25/ea Our next Salem Ubuntu Hour meetings will be February 3rd/17th, same bat place, same bat time. Thanks everyone for supporting our community, great meeting. Phil.
