OggCamp 2019
by Steven Maddox
Lo,
OK so only 3 days after the relaunch and already got a trip on the cards :)
Sounds like a few of us are going to OggCamp 2019
<https://oggcamp.org/>. I've never been personally myself but Keira and
Darren are veterans and this will be their 6th year :)
I've popped some details on the website for anyone interested in tagging
along on the day we're going...
https://staffslug.org.uk/calendar/#Trips
If anyone wants to discuss/chat about it, etc... please join the trips@
mailing list (either via the web interface on
https://lists.staffslug.org.uk or e-mail
trips-join(a)lists.staffslug.org.uk
<mailto:trips-join@lists.staffslug.org.uk>)

Re: [StaffsLUG Meetings] Re: Meeting 24/10/2019
by Steven Maddox
Lo folks,
Yeah it was a great meeting, a good 15 of you - hopefully we'll not be
going over 24 or we'll run out of desks! (or 30 at max - if I can get
the PC's, riiiight at the back turned on... without tripping the fuse box!)
I'm cc'ing general@ as I've found some black headphones (one of the ears
is broken and it has a lightning connector on the end)... let me know if
they're yours... whomever you are may not be on meetings@ yet - where
most of the chat about last night is occurring.
Was found this morning when I got in at 6:45am... usual of the day for
me, reason why I didn't pop down the pub after the workshop last night!.

REMINDER: Meeting tonight! Photos included.
by Steven Maddox
Morning!
This is a quick (and final) reminder that the relaunch meeting is
happening TONIGHT from 6pm onwards! (7pm for the main business)
We'll be discussing the LUGs new resources, getting to know new faces,
talk of future plans and look back on the last 20 years together with
founder Dave Roberts who has confirmed he'll be in attendance :)
This is (likely) to be the *LAST* time that reminders about meetings
will go to general@ so if you want to know about future meetings then
please subscribe to meetings@ to be in the loop and influence the topics
they'll cover.
Details of the venue are on the site
<https://staffslug.org.uk/events/#Workshops> but basically stick ST5 5NB
into your sat-nav/phone and you'll find a building that looks like the
below photo... be sure to use the 2nd entrance (it's the lower half of
the building) marked by the big red arrow I've drawn!
Park anywhere at that back entrance and hit the doorbell on the
"Internet Central" door.
Also for anyone curious, this is what the room looks like that we'll be
using for the Workshops.
There is also a kitchen for people to get drinks and such...
Hopefully see you all there.

Mint 19.2 - issues?
by Kevanf1
Is anybody running Mint 19.2? I have a couple of issues that I'd like to
put out there for discussion. Firstly the time applet in my system tray
does not seem to keep proper time. I find it often lags up to an hour
behind what it should be. The other issue is the lack of a working
software graphic equalise for audio playback. I've tried installing
various equalisers through both the software 'store and synaptic. They
appear to install with all dependencies fulfilled, well, no errors show
up. When I try running them they just don't work. I'm having to use
SMPlayer and its own equaliser but this is no good for internet radio
streams. Any ideas? Everything was working fine with Mint 17.3. I'm
sorely tempted to load up Mint 18 and give that a go.
Thank you.

Is it really 20 years?
by Dave Roberts
Hi,
Decided to see if there was any activity on the lug (I remember trying the
link a few years ago and I think it was going to a holding page), then
tried again today and there was this really nice new site with activity!
Had a look at the history page and saw the comment about when the lug was
set-up, and it made me feel old as I remember Mark and I talking about
setting it up (we used to work together on shifts as computer operators)
and it only felt like a few years, but not 20!
Anyway, really good to see it up and running again.

IRC or similar?
by Russ Phillips
It just occurred to me to ask, is there any interest or plans for IRC, XMPP, or similar for real time chat?

Older mailing lists
by Steven Maddox
Lo,
As promised if you ever need anything from either of the older mailing
lists... staffs(a)mailman.lug.org.uk or staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk - you'
can now find them for viewing on https://lists.staffslug.org.uk
Just untick 'Hide inactive' and they should appear.
When there is a block of time, a bunch of us will be browsing through
all past messages to help with fleshing out the LUG's backstory on the
website.
Unfortunately the HyperKitty / Mailman 3 interface shows months/years
even if they're devoid of messages - opened a feature request for this
and trying to see what I can do to the code for this to happen...
