[Cody Smith]

nice! it's entirely possible I won't have the spare money to buy something
from Broadway Coffeehouse (gotta love underestimating how much something
costs and a vending machine eating several quarters...)

IF I can scrounge up $2.50, I'll be there, if not, I'll be there in spirit.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Firday's Salem Ubuntu Hour, and Planetarium events.

[Phil N]

Hi All,
Broadway Coffeehouse was able to reserve the Dallas Room, 204, for our
meeting on Friday, June 2, from 6pm-7pm.  The Dallas room (204) is located
on the second floor, towards the back.  Some of you may remember meeting
there before. The room holds about 10, so we should have plenty of seats
available for those wishing to attend.  There is no fee to use this room,
your patronage helps the Coffeehouse makes it possible for us to continue
to use this public space for free.  So please thank Broadway Coffeehouse by
purchasing a beverage, and letting them know your there for the Linux /
Ubuntu meeting.

After our meeting at Broadway, I'm heading over to Chemeketa's Planetarium
to see their eclipse presentation.  Anyones is welcome to follow me over to
Chemeketa.  For more information on the eclipse presentation, please see
our LoCo techie calender of events, for Friday, hosted by Makerspace Salem
at: https://makerspacesalem.org/calendar.html

Che > I totally understand other priorities taking present for Friday, and
hope to catch you both at another Ubuntu hour.  On a "Bald" Hill sounds
like the perfect place to watch the eclipse "unobstructed". LOL.

On a personal note:
Over the weekend I attended the Dorkbot meetup, hosted at CTRL-H PDX
Hackerspace, located in Portland, and had lots of great tech fun.  Hope
everyone also had a great weekend.

Also currently writing in Python to read USB codes from a joystick, to
reverse engineer it for other useful purposes with Linux / Ubuntu.  The
stick is a Logitech RF2.4 Freedom 2.4 cordless joystick, so if anyone out
there already knows the scan-codes, please let me know.  Also found
"jstest-gtk" runs great on Ubuntu 16.04.

Looking forward to Friday's meeting.
Ciao for now
Phil. N

 Hi all,
 I just put in for a conference room request at Broadway Coffeehouse in
 Salem, for our next Salem Ubuntu Hour event, and will let you know if we
 get approved.  The conference rooms are complimentary with the purchase of
 beverages, and or goodies.

 Our next Salem Ubuntu Hour takes place this coming Friday, June 2nd,

 Broadway Coffeehouse is located at 1300 Broadway St NE, in Salem.
 Anyone interested in GNU/Linux distributions, including our favorite Ubuntu
 distro, may attend.  Meeting is open to the public.  For the price of a cup
 of good tasting coffee, you can discover why Ubuntu is a "far cry" from the
 usual status quo.

 Also taking place after our Ubuntu meeting Friday evening - For those
 interested in astronomy, particularly the coming Solar Eclipse in August
 2017.  Chemeketa Community College Planetarium is hosting an astronomy
 presentation on the solar eclipse, Friday, June 2nd, from 7:30PM to 8:30PM.

 The Planetarium at Chemeketa Community College is located at 4000
 Lancaster Dr NE, Salem, OR 97305, inside Building 2, Room 171. Please
 park in the "Blue" parking area which is nearest to building 2.  Event is
 open the public, arrive early for best seating.

Good stuff, not sure we'll make the meeting as we have to head to Portland
in the middle of the month for a couple of days. I'll know mid next week.
However, we're really interested in the Eclipse and are trying to decide on
the best spot to go and watch it. We're discussing doing a broadcast of it,
very exciting.
