BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2019-07-14 at Cafe Blue Door

[goossbears]

Hey everyone,

Timely reminder here that the first BerkeleyLUG
meetup of the month is this upcoming Sunday, July 14th,
(yep, Bastille Day), "officially" happening from
12Noon to 3pm PDT at Berkeley's Cafe Blue Door.

The time and dates of meetups are also viewable at
www.berkeleylug.com/meetings
Unofficially, some of the BerkeleyLUG participants
have regularly hung-around at past meetups, working on
various projects and/or engaging in discussion/training
even well past 3:00pm.

Cafe Blue Door is located at 2244 Bancroft Way;
across the street from Cal's Edwards Stadium near
the extreme Southwestern corner of the campus.
Also see its Yelp page at https://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-blue-door-berkeley
and its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleyFloorCafe/
When you enter the front door of the cafe, look
around for a gathering of other recognizable Linux
aficionados with laptops and other small computing

devices as well as [hopefully] a table sign indicating

the presence of the group.

Those of you dropping by this Sunday for the meetup are
welcome to bring along extra surge-protected power
strips and long, grounded extension cords for powering
the various computing devices you're bringing along with
you, duly taking into account the cafe's power-outlet
and space constraints.

As before, we would kindly request that all meetup

attendees please accommodate everyone else present

at the table(s), even including non-BerkeleyLUG

patrons at the Cafe.

Thanks, Cheers and See ya' there!

Shattuck closed at Durant.  If coming from the south drive up Channing (or before) instead.

Very nice meeting today.  

After today's meeting I went to a party, and talked to a friend about Pi's and Linux.  

He has one Pi controlling a solar heat for his hot tub.  It uses tubes on the garage roof 

which heats water pumped through.  The Pi controls the pump based on temp differences.  

Another Pi controls the attic fan and also runs a media server and DNS server.  For DNS it acts like a Pihole 

and also restrict access (like turn off Netflix to the teenagers in the house)  

At work he made a gadget from two Raspberry Pi zeros.  The Pi zero can act like a usb device (gadget mode)  

One Pi is a USB to Ethernet and the other is a USB hid (keyboard and mouse)  The two are inter-connected 

via serial.  So he is able to send key presses and mouse movement over the network.  

-- I think this dual zero Pi would be a cool project.  I have a couple zero's if anyone wants to try next pi day.
