Party invitation Friday 14 March 2014
Hello! I've been a Linux user and contributor for more than twenty years now, starting with adding support for 43-line EGA video mode. Our website Glass Wings is having a party from 6pm to 8pm at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne this Friday 14 March 2014 to celebrate its 20th anniversary and we'd love to invite you. Glass Wings has not only been hosted on Linux since the beginning (originally on a laptop with a 10Mbps coaxial ISA-bus Ethernet adapter in an expansion bay!) but all the content has also been created using FOSS software on Linux desktops. We'll be bringing some of our collection of vintage laptops running modern versions of Linux (including the Ubuntu 14.04 beta) along to the party so you can browse the site! More details here: http://glasswings.com.au/2014-gw-party.html Cheers, Andrew
Hi fellow LUV members, I have a few Nokia N800 computers that I was going to throw out, but thought someone might be interested in them. They run Maemo, which is based on Debian, and has a Mozilla micro browser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N800 Unfortunately Nokia decided not to pursue Maemo, although it was promising at the time. I have 5 of them, complete with chargers and cases. They are in good condition, as they were used for business, but didn't have to work too hard. Pick up from the city, or I can bring them to the next LUV meeting Cheers Mike 0438 002 921
