[meeting notes] UBUNTU HOUR 2019-07-11
From Devi Garcia · Jul 12, 2019
Attendees: 18 (three new individuals)
Upcoming Events:
27 July, CLUG Meeting, 1300-1545, SVPL conference room, 2600 East
Tacoma Street, Sierra Vista
08 August, Sierra Vista Ubuntu Hour, Schlotzsky’s Cafe, 1800-1900,
3900 Fry Blvd, Sierra Vista Discussion: Announced that Canonical has withdrawn their statement about no longer
supporting x86 ISO’s. They will continue to support the 32 bit
versions beyond 2020. This of course is good news for Ubuntu users who
are still using older machines and perhaps cannot afford a new
computer but wish to continue to use Ubuntu.
Discussed the possibility of conducting a second repair your computer
workshop. It was decided to hold it at the SV Public Library in lieu
of a presentation during Cochise Linux User Group meeting on 24 August
from 1300 to 1545.
A computer was presented to Jaidon for his personal use. This is the
12th computer that has been donated to an individual by the group.
Since we are getting a greater number of computers, computer parts,
and accessories we are actively looking for a place to store them
where they can be available to members for repair workshops. Gene is
looking to donate several functional computers.
Discussed the feasibility of not conducting quarterly Installfests and
doing mini-installfests at the meetings. This was initially suggested
by Devi. It was decided that this was probably a better use of our
resources. Two installs are already scheduled for the July 27th
meeting.
Repaired a Ubuntu 18.04 computer install that could not get on the Internet.
Recommended video Why Ubuntu is the Devil and Why So Many No Longer
Use It. https://youtu.be/L7uL50zVZJA. It was initially posted by Devi
to the mailing list and parts of it are quite humorous.
Information on Ubuntu, the Cochise Linux User Group, Free and Open
Source Software, and AZLOCO was distributed to the new attendees.
Their questions were answered. https://cochiselinuxusergroup.org/meeting/2019/07/11/ubuntuhour.html
