Greetings List Lurkers, Snowy-cloudy day, cold and cloudy, but once again (thank God :^) no snow yet today...
Thanks for your patience these two missed meetings at the end of the year... BAZZITE The Bazzite story gets better every day. At this point we have, available for loan, half a dozen i5 workstations with Bazzite loaded and operating. Our goal here is to find members of the community to loan these machines out to. Note that you will be part of a very important experiment. If you are loaned one of these Bazzite based systems you will need the following additional hardware: - Two Power Cords 1 for console 1 for monitor - Monitor (VGA, Divix or HDMI) - Keyboard - Mouse - Network and network patch Cable These units have been donated to BOSI by our benefactor Rubin. I thank him. We now have a new and sweet development system. Still trying to figure out how to install a windows bottle to the menu, however making progress... PLANNING FOR AN OPEN SOURCE UNIVERSITY IN BARRE CITY. Maybe it merely a form of self delusion, that we can establish good and lasting institutions on the Barre City floodplains, yet I have published this idea, and now find the need to follow up with some written details. Thus,I continue to be trapped in my own attempt to synthesize a vision for an institute of higher education for in Barre City. The irony is that we have been meeting, teaching and learning here at the Barre Open Systems Institute since October 2014, and while we have made progress in the technology, like humans everywhere we have not been able to expand the concepts of free and open source knowledge much at all. ...so we are revising an earlier plan,,, Thankfully, our gathering this evening is more about free software ideas, and less about local politics. This open discussion is available tonight, this Monday evening, at 6 PM at the York Library in beautiful East Barre Vermont. Thus we are centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library once again this evening. That said, come in person or remotely and bring this and any Open Source other technical or personal blames and questions and we shall do our thing! Again this evening, beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use https://meet.jit.si/bosi to connect.
