in the midst of regular discussions about what talk to have at the next meeting, i think it would be productive to place more emphasis on writing/collecting really good and current tutorials on how to do things in linux, as opposed to always waiting for a meeting to see how something is done. for instance, after rob e. mentioned the raspberry pi, i offered to demo how easy it is to build a bootable image for one using openembedded and the publicly-available meta-raspberrypi layer. but it so happens i've already written that up and it's available at my wiki (might need a bit of updating but should still work): http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Building_basic_RPi_image so there's not much point using meeting time to explain something that anyone can read at their leisure at my web site. any thoughts on this? doesn't mean people need to personally write stuff if all it takes is locating a perfectly good tutorial that's already out there. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
