<br>
For our December meeting (Tuesday 7th December), I'd like to have a collection of small talks, bound together with the theme of "On day $N of Christmas, FOSS gave to me..."<br>
<br>
To make this work, your LUG needs you! The more speakers we can find, the more fun this will be. :-D It would be amazing if we could do 12 talks, though that might be a stretch. It will be a *maximum* of 5 minutes per talk, so it's not a big commitment.<br>
<br>
The idea is simple: tell us about some cool open source thing! It could be a game, a useful tool, or an algorithm (with an open source implementation). It could be something so widespread we hardly notice it, like DNS, or a personal story like how you rescued a broken laptop using Linux. It could be open hardware, or even an open source cola (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink)</a> ). The only requirement is for something open source which you're glad exists!<br>
<br>
I want to see what you come up with yourself first, but I'll post some specific suggestions a bit nearer the time. Please reply here to pledge a talk, or contact me directly if you prefer. I can also help if you want to talk but are stuck for a topic.<br>
<br>
See you in December,<br>
Thomas<br>
<br>
P.S. We've decided not to organise the traditional Christmas meal in December, because the risk of spreading COVID when restaurants are super busy seems too high. We're hoping to have a delayed meal together some time in January/February. If that happens, the details will of course be on this list.<br>
