Meeting this Sunday the 15th from 11 am to 2pm or so

In person at Sudoroom   4799 Shattuck, Oakland, CA 94609

Virtually at meet.jit.si/Pi.BerkeleyLUG 

My agenda will be working up a demo or presentation of the Pi 5  

I want to create a Pi 5 demo event for the next week.  I'm thinking 

Saturday the 21st from noon til 3pm (so as not to conflict with the Berkeley LUG 

meeting on Oct 22)  

My thoughts:  

Run the 5 and the 4 side by side comparing (I have a pi 4 but I don't think 8GB) 

Demo 2 cameras (the connector uses the small fpc like the one on the Zero) 

Demo the USB3 -- maybe run a couple external ssds 

Explore the pcie connector?!  How?  Connector is .5mm 16 pin FPC.  I would have to 

solder such a cable to a pcie riser.  I may have an M.2  extender so that could get an 

nvme drive on the Pi?  

Anyways the Saturday event would be put out on the Sudoroom announce and probably Meetup 

via Peter Mui.

Directly pertaining to the Pi.BerkeleyLUG's Jit.si Meet login authentication requirements 
as detailed in Rick M's posting 'meet.jit.si change (re: initial room creation)' at
http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2023q3/015885.html , you(Thomas) or another 
Pi.BerkeleyLUG meeting participant will likely have to authenticate the Jit.si Meet instance 
"using a Google Account _or_ a Facebook account _or_ a GitHub account" 
near the time the scheduled virtual meeting begins.

Am considering remotely joining the meet.jit.si/Pi.BerkeleyLUG virtual meeting around 
12Noon or so that day with my own non-demo, non-hardware-based RPi installation 
and configuration, and am able to carry out the Jit.si Meet login authentication then, 
assuming Thomas or another Pi.BerkeleyLUG meeting participant hasn't done so already :-)

Cheers!
