June Meetup, FOSS for fabrication

[Benson Muite]

Hi,

Still awaiting confirmation as to whether Mt. Kenya University will be
able to host us, thanks Steve for checking on this. We have one planned
talk by Daniel Muringe "Building TCP to HTTP from scratch".

Are there any other people that want to talk on June 6?

Cornelius will be attending Flock, the Fedora User Conference later in
June:
https://fedoraproject.org/flock/2026/
We have offered to sponsor small prizes for the contributor recognition
program:
https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/flock-to-fedora-2026/talk/Y3G3QK/

Our current aim is to make a keychain, plaque or trophy. Files can be
designed in Inkscape:
https://inkscape.org/
then fabricated. Would anyone else want to help with this? Would there
be interest in making NairobiLUG keychains? We could meet on the
morning of Saturday 6 June to get fabrication done - suggestions for
places to do the fabrication are welcome, particularly if others want to
help out. Design would be done this coming week.

Regards,
Benson

Good afternoon everyone. 

It'll be okay, but you will need to carry your national ID.

Thanks for following through on this. Now some hard questions:

1) Do we need to register beforehand?

2) Is MKU registered with the ODPC? National ID can be used for so many
things without confirmation, it is problematic to hand it out - we can
arrange to discuss this at a later date, "Secure systems engineering
101" or "A practical introduction to hacking systems using Kenyan ID
numbers"

3) What about people without national ID?

We still appreciate being hosted.
