Hi Rik, Is this on this evening? I normally see a message from you regarding the Linux workshop, but have not seen one for this. I run into problems with getting a bootloader onto my old Galaxy Note3 so I can then install LineageOS, hopefully someone may know what I don't.

This effort doubled the size of the average GNU/Linux workshop, though admittedly one was asleep in a pram :) 2. We settled on the third Tuesday night monthly, 7.30pm-9.30pm in the South Learning Centre lab - next is on 21 August, now booked. 3. Modding Android phones will become the shared hobby of an ALPS core, and 100% synchronicity was revealed in that www.postmarketos.org from www.alpinelinux.org is the direction we are traveling for the software tools. 4. www.android-x86 8.1 (Oreo) rc1 worked really well on the lab PC, with a great built-in terminal emulator, picking up ethernet but unable to dial out (though it really wanted to); lesson #1 is all of the gmail / google registration / location etc that it is trying to extract, before you can get a clear 'desktop' for work: a really searchy engine! 5. A very odd 'missing txts' between a Spark Android and a Vodaphone Nokia user was tested then referred on to the individuals' service providers - any other suggestions here? 6. More synchronicity, as on the way home, Android just became huge in the news (holding 75% of the European phone market): http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/morningreport/audio/2018654276/google-fined-4-point-3b-by-eu 7. There is definite demand for deeper experience with (GNU and) Linux ICT operating systems, so the ALPS team will press on. New participants very welcome. Reminder, next GNU/Linux workshop is Weds 1 August, 7.30pm-9.30pm in the SLC lab. Thank you for all the support in coordinating these two user groups.
