Can I make a suggestion?

Make the meeting URLs static - I've got them in a calendar (2 of them, 
in fact), so when meeting time arrives, I can look at "today's" 
calendar, or a notification from Nextcloud about the event and get the URL.


No need to search email, no need to update a repeating calendar event 
every month.



Just my 2¢.


In fact, maybe publish a calendar of events directly?

i.e. All the LUGs that I associate with (including this one) are found at:

https://nextcloud.bclug.ca/apps/calendar/p/FstPYnjs8ndwoN6Z



Thanks!

[linux] OCLUG meeting this week - Thursday Feb 2nd 2023

2023-01-30 Thread Tug Williams

Good morning everyone,

When: 7pm Thursday Feb 2nd 2023
Where: https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2023-02-02_Wiz2MQTT_and_other_topics

This month we have an introduction to Dmitriy's new open source project 
Wiz2MQTT, which he offered to talk about at very short notice, so thank you!


I keep meaning to ask for volunteers to give talks, short or long, but 
usually remember a week before a meeting, so now I'm putting out a 
request for future meetings. If you have a presentation or demo you'd be 
comfortable sharing with the club, or a discussion topic you wish 
introduce, then please let us know.


In addition to Dmitriy's presentation, if time allows, I have a couple 
of discussion topics, which I've not prepared enough for a talk.


Topics to mull over, and I look forward to others knowing more about 
than I do!


_*Privacy, Secrecy, Security, and Accessibility*_
- Privacy - initiated by a couple of emails about this club's privacy rules.
- Privacy vs Secrecy - something we do, but don't talk about, vs 
something we don't want people to know we do.

- Privacy vs Security - moral intent vs technical competence
- Security vs Accessibility - PGP on your phone, medical records on the 
internet.


_*ChatGPT*_
If ChatGPT can pass exams for MBAs (says more about MBAs or ChatGPT?), 
then what are the implications for /publicly available knowledge/ based 
work sectors?

    - Lawyers, where arcane inflexible wording is required.
    - Open Source software, if you can just ask "Hey ChatGPT, write me 
closed source code to replace libsomething".
    - Family doctors, where symptoms lead to tests, which lead to 
diagnosis, which lead to treatment options.


Until Thursday

Tug
