[Liverpool] Fwd: Donating to OpenEmbedded as a company

[Alex J Lennon via Liverpool]

Hi all,

I got this in which is really really interesting to me in terms of how 
small business that uses OpenSource can pay something back.


The link to Marta's  FOSDEM talk is below which I greatly enjoyed. This 
is something very close to my heart.


A topic for an upcoming LUG meeting perhaps?

Cheers,

Alex

Hello all,
I'm posting to this list, because more people might be interested. I'm 
willing to make a donation from my company to OpenEmbedded (as a part of 
an initiative I talk more at [1]). Companies need invoices or other 
proofs for payments, as most of you know. I then contacted the SPI 
treasurer to work out details. Nothing happened, same after a follow-up 
message.


This is a pity, because a company cannot make a donation in such 
situation. It is also pushing to become a member of YP instead, where 5k 
is quite a large sum for a really small company. I would really prefer 
to give to OE. Whom can work this out?


Kind regards,
Marta

[Liverpool] Wigan Beer Festival (Tomorrow!)

[Alex J Lennon via Liverpool]

Hi all,

We're thinking of a trip from Lime Street to Wigan Beer Festival if 
anybody fancies it.


https://beerfestival.wigancamra.org.uk/

The Liverpool end are aiming to be at Lime Street for the 13:45 train to 
get there.


Seimon tells us it officially finishes at 5pm (there's a Saturday as 
well for those who fancy that).


Would be lovely to see you!

Cheers,

Alex

This sounds really good. Dunno if I can come as I have jobs to do. If I 
could come could I bring my boy and we could try and do some OBS studio 
streaming stuff? He's a bit fan of OBS Studio

Hello everyone,

Hope you are well and 2023 is being kind so far. It's time for
our next Liverpool LUG meeting and this month we even have a
talk planned.

*Weds February 1st from 7PM onwards at DOES Liverpool,
Kempston St, City Centre.*

This month *Gary Wright* is going to be telling us about
encryption, hashes and security stuff. How does quantum
computing affect things for example. He's even provided me
with a talk outline which you can see on the blog if you want
more info - https://livlug.org.uk/2023/01/february-2023-meeting/

You might also want to check this out for a bit preparatory
reading -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-enhancing_technologies

As usual the directions to DOES Liverpool are linked in the
blog post and everyone is welcome. So come along and join us.

We meet from 7pm but people tend to arrive in their own time
and the talk definitely won't start until 7:30pm earliest.
Just so you know.

Look forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday, best wishes,

Dan

it's NOT the first Wednesday of the month but all the

Thinking about our Yulelug (?) on Wednesday. Are there any
geek type Christmas films out there? Sci-fi Christmas
films? Ok, ok - we can always fall back on Die Hard if
nothing else works :-) Was thinking it would be nice to
have some Christmas themed films running on a laptop/small
screen in a corner - maybe muted - just to create some
atmosphere? Any thoughts? 

Network :) Logan’s Run Zardoz Johnny mnemonic Max Headroom … 



Thank you for those Alex. I don't have any of them on disc - but I'll
bring a laptop and some DVD's - or we might be able to improvise
something with one of the streaming platforms.

This is kind of interesting. It shows that I have a bunch of gaps to 
fill in my general knowledge when it comes to wireless networking :-) 
When I asked on the list about mesh networking, I was referring to 
802.11 based mesh networks - the sort of high-throughput links which 
would be useful for general computing tasks (i.e. browsing the 
Internet). On the other hand, the low power, low data rate and 
possibly long distance mesh networking used with IoT devices is also 
an interesting topic, come to think of it - so I'm looking forward to 
any opportunity to learn about it as well :-)





Awesome - exactly! And I have gaps on what you're talking about because 
when I talk about mesh in my head I am usually thinking about low 
bandwidth and switches and sensor readings and suchlike :)


Something else playing in here that I know little about is 5G and where 
NB-IoT fits in at the low bandwidth end of that specification and what 
fits at the high bandwidth / low latency end.


I have been talking to people about the 5G future in which we deploy 
containers into data-cubes based at the edge of the 5G network into the 
cell hardware itself. Would love to understand this in more depth.


Was vaguely wondering if I could get somebody in for IoT Liverpool when 
that restarts. Maybe we could consider some kind of joint event?


Lots to talk about it seems!

Cheers,

Alex

Hi everybody - yes I would love to chat with everybody about mesh some 
time and bounce ideas around. I have done a lot of 2.4GHz 802.15.4 based 
mesh (e.g. PopNet) and am keen to get back into sub GHz mesh over LoRa 
in the future.


Unfortunately I have a commitment with the kids for upcoming wednesdays 
in the near future but am hoping to be able to catch up some time :)))

I think I could put something together for the coming Wednesday. How long to I 
need to talk for and what’s the target audience? I’m assuming Linux users from 
intermediate to advanced but probably with less awareness of Linux in the 
embedded space?

[Liverpool] [DoES Liverpool] Embedded Linux Conference 2017 (ELC-E) in Prague

[Alex J Lennon via Liverpool]

Hi all,

[Apologies if you are a victim of my cross-posting against the DoES list]

I'm going to ELC-E again. This year it's in Prague on 23rd - 26th October.

Schedule:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/embedded-linux-conference-europe/program/schedule

(Hobbyist codes are available for individuals active in the opensource
community, which reduce the ticket cost to $200)

I always find ELC-E a valuable experience and try to get along every
couple of years to see what's happening in the embedded Linux community.

Flights are available with Ryanair out of Liverpool.

Does anybody fancy joining me?

Cheers,

Alex

Again though Neil, I think you sent two emails relating to my query 
but one of them was missing the body of the email!  We think that is 
due to my email client on my Samsung phone.


Email in a box seems to be a very basic generic system intended to be 
installed onto a server Farm rented server. Doing that seems reduce 
the problems of being blacklisted due to being on a home ip address. 
 Email in a box when installed, hijacks the entire pc and it seems 
locks it down so it is the only service on that pc.


Email in a box own docs suggests that there are other more 
sophisticated projects that could be tried, iRedMail being one of them.


As someone entirely new to this idea of "re decentralisation" of 
Internet services I'm intrigued, bewildered yet keen to learn how to 
implement my own email hosting system





Speaking as somebody who has run his own email, web. and other servers 
for many, many years, as I'm sure is true of many from LivLig and the 
DoES community, I can't think of a more fun way to get started than 
using a co-located Raspberry Pi for your email server:


e.g. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-colocation
