Possible topics to discuss:

0) Robby - May talk further about the new Framework laptop which you can build yourself or have the factory do it.

1) Bob has a Dell desktop tower to give away, almost no use, very clean but a few years old. First come, first serve. Bob also has an audio receiver to give away.

2) Ubuntu Lunar Lobster report:

3) Linux desktop leaders unite behind Flathub app store. Here's why:
Steven Vaugan-Nichols reminds us that the GNOME Foundation and KDE Foundations are creating an appstore using Flatpak, giving us some of the benefits of AppImage/Flatpak & Snap which containerize apps. We are then told why the chosen platform is Flatpak (instead of Snap), and given some stats on Flathub. Steven ends saying he hopes the store will succeed, as he expresses the view that this will help the Linux desktop.

4) Round-table discussion on how you are using your computer? It hasn't happen as yet! :-)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As always, bring any questions you have, or join us to help others find solutions to their tech-related problems.

Do we have any volunteers with a topic they would be willing to present?

Hope to see you there...

If you have problems connecting to "Jitsi Meet" through your browser, try the AppImage (for Linux only). It's a single stand-alone file that contains everything needed and doesn't install or make changes to your computer other than the usual config settings. Simply make the AppImage file executable and run it. Quick and easy, plus it will be automatically replaced with new versions as they become available, so you'll always be using the latest.

"Jitsi Meet" applications are available here:
Linux (.deb), Linux (.AppImage), Windows (.exe) and MAC (.dmg)...

Links to the Mobile apps for Apple and Android are here...

Helpful hints:
press ? to list all quick shortcuts
press M (mute) to toggle the microphone
press V (video) to toggle the camera
press C (chat) to open the chat window
press Space for 'Push-to-Talk' mode so mic only works when the Space is held down; press M to reset to normal mode

Best Practices:
- Remember to enter a user name at the prompt when launching Jitsi Meet
- Please Mute your microphone (M on the keyboard) when you're not speaking, or hit the Spacebar to enter Push-to-Talk mode. Then, hold it down to talk, release to mute.
