Have upgraded. other than a few glitchy things about seeing nic's during
install, seem ok
Have not attempted on my laptop where Ubuntu has never been able to make
the wifi work.

Hey Everyone
We have a number of new members, perhaps it's time to start organizing a
not-so-monthly meeting for May. What times/dates *don't* work for those who
want to come?
A few announcements;
Jaunty (9.04) is out, our remix is not yet. If you haven't upgraded yet do
so soon, it's well worth the time!
I have Inkscape-ready CD distribution boxes. The front has some details
about Ubuntu, the left hand side holds 3-4 Ubuntu CDs, and the right hand
side some business cards for a local person that provides support services.
They print on 8.5" x 11" cardstock, single sided color, and take a bit of
cutting, folding, and glue to assemble. A local print shop in Manchester,
Copy Express, charges $1.75/ea to print these in really nice vibrant
colors. Let me know if you're interested, I'm thinking about cleaning it up
to upload to the wiki.
We're now having monthly LAN parties at the DynDNS offices in Manchester
under the GNHLUG banner, next game is TeeWorlds this Friday, May 1st,
starting at 6pm. http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/GamingSIG has
the address
Lastly, we're finally getting organized to get the cooperative layer 2 mesh
network going in Manchester. This will work with any system but we're going
to package some tools and network configuration for Ubuntu users to get the
most out of it, including a small GIS app to display the current status of
all the links and seamless migration between access points and
wired/wireless connections. We'll also be promoting Ubuntu to new members
on this network. Volunteers are needed from those with good "people skills"
to those who like climbing on rooftops.

I work overnights, so any time in the day is fine with me. I'd really like
to attend the upcoming meeting and get started helping with something in the
group. I've been using Ubuntu since Edgy. I'm already a self-appointed
advocate and 'Ubuntu pusher' if you will.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

I've been watching UBUNTU for a year or so and have played with it a few
times. I am computer literate but don't know any programming. I'm not a
young man either but I do have an interest in technology.
I find this email quite cryptic, but I see words like "mesh network" in
here which I've heard a little about and want to learn more, also I have
no idea what a "Inkscape-ready" is or "DynDNS" , or "GIS app" but I would
like to attend a meeting to see what it's all about, and meet some of the
dedicated local people behind the scenes. I'm retired so anytime is ok with
me, I prefer daytime, because I'm old, but realize that most of you are
working, so for me a weekend would be best, Hope to meet you guys soon.
Harry

Here's some URLs to read if you're interested,
Mesh networking; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network
We're looking at using the B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced protocol which is explained
a bit on http://open-mesh.org/. Of course normal wifi could connect to this
network, a Linux computer with batman-adv module loaded could further act as
a mesh router and view network diagnostics.
Inkscape is a free software vector graphics editor. http://inkscape.org/
Inkscape-ready means that the material is ready to be modified by Inkscape
which can export a final .pdf for a copy shop to print.
DynDNS is a popular service run by a local company, http://www.dyndns.com/
Beyond having a pretty cool DNS service, they're big supporters of free
software
In GIS app, a Mapnik-based (http://mapnik.org/) website and desktop software
that shows a map of the city with the network overlayed on it, so it can be
monitored in realtime. The map data comes from http://openstreetmap.org/
All of this is a bit technical for new Ubuntu users, don't worry if it
sounds like a lot to take in all at once.

I'm still out of the country, and will be for several more months.
Please keep me on the mailing list, as I'm interested in what's
happening in the community. When I return, I hope to make it to the
meetings/activities.
