Notes from last night's MerriLUG meeting, 21-Dec-2006

[Ted Roche]

Yet another great meeting at Martha's Exchange.

I didn't get an exact headcount, but I'd guess 14 of us made it last  
night for the monthly meeting, held on the Winter Solstice.

Announcements included upcoming meetings:  Jarod Wilson, author of  
the Fedora MythTV HOWTO [1] will be presenting at the MerriLUG  
meeting on 18-Jan-2006. Other upcoming meetings are kept up-to-date  
on http://www.gnhlug.org

We had several mini-presentations, all very good:

- Andy Bair gave a brief overview of WebJob ([2]) and there was a  
good discussion of advantages over ssh-based push models
- Rob Lembree and Matt Brodeur showed off BitPim ([3]) software for  
transferring calendar, contact, background graphics and ringtones to  
and from cell phones
- Jim Kuzdrall described a naming scheme to organize his engineering  
documents and find them years later.

Thanks to Heather for herding the cats and bringing the projector,  
Jim Kuzdrall for the announcements, Martha's Exchange for providing  
the facilities, and thanks to the speakers and attendees for an  
interesting  evening!

A couple folks noticed I handed out GNHLUG business cards to a couple  
of activists as stocking stuffers. You can print your own cards using  
glabels and the template available at the bottom of the page here:
