2600 E. Tacoma St., Sierra Vista Presentation: GitHub by Rex Bouwense. This was a basic introduction to GitHub more
detail can be discussed with a future presentation if there is
sufficient interest. The slides are at our website
https://github.com/CochiseLinuxUsersGroup/Presentations. Discussion/Problems/Questions: There was a discussion on the new location that was discovered by
Lynn, the Veteran Synergy Center, 1838 Paseo San Luis. There is a
conference room that can esily hold 30 plus people and all that we
must do is sign up to use it and it is ours and a computer lab in
which we can place Linux computers. There is excellent WiFi throughout
the building. They have a Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/HonorThoseWhoServe354/. There is also an area
that we will be able to store computers and parts. Our only cost is
$10.00 per month to pay for the professional cleaning of the building.
Those present acknowledged that this was a step up for the group and
it will enable us to reach a whole new set of people to spread our
message. We will conduct our next computer repair workshop in the
conference room. Future Installfests will also be held there. For the
time being we will continue to use the library conference room for our
monthly meetings.
There was a discussion on how often we need to conduct these Computer
Repair Workshops. Monthly for four hours was decided on until we clear
the backload of computers that we currently have on hand. Then another
decision will be reached.
Laura has a hard disk that was dropped and wanted to know if there was
any way she could recover the data that is stored on it. She has
attempted to connect it to a working computer without a positive
result. She was directed to Gibson Research Corporation
http://www.grc.com/intro.htm and SpinRite. Gene also said that he has
an application that will clone the drive even if it is damaged. This
is an option if SpinRite does not work.
Gene wanted to know why an application, Gnome Disk, that he installed,
does not appear in his menu. Several solutions were offered. Aftermath: After the meeting ended, several members toured the Veteran Synergy Center https://cochiselinuxusergroup.org/meeting/2019/07/27/CLUG-Meeting.html
