If it's Gentoo, I am all ears.

Yes there will, once it is clear what the topics will be... I have
some (partially prepared) back up plans, to add to a CentOS
discussion. Worst case, I can always share my Joy of Gentoo, which
would fit into a "distro" theme...
If anyone else has a topic they'd like to talk about, then let me
know, and I'll give you priority :)
I will clarify tomorrow, but there will be an online meeting, and
hopefully RGB will be able to connect and join his remote friends.

Hi all,
Ian MacWilliam here. Here being Perth. I really appreciate the
ability to remotely join in without having to drive in and try to
find parking, the building, the room, etc. It's been a long time
since any of my kids attended Ottawa U and much has changed, not to
mention Ottawa construction (or the price of gas).
So, will the linux-ottawa.org website be updated with a meeting
announcement and jitsi link?
Thanks,
Ian M.
P.S. While you are not on your smart phone, I suggest reading
something by Jaron Lanier. He is very interesting.

Hm..seems pretty smart to me.
Would be interested in your thoughts on the Pine64 project, but
that's probably a conversation better had at a user group
meeting.
I am aware of it. I may be in the market around retirement when
travel
is likely to become a more serious occupation.

Richard - you don't even have a pager?
No. I remember pretty clearly in 1995 riding my Miyata 1000LT
west on
Baseline at Prince of Wales thinking how it would be pretty cool
to be
able to call one of my friends at that point. As with most of my
consumer purchases, I waited a week for a "sober second thought",
and by
the end of that week I concluded there was no good reason anyone
needed
to get a hold of me that urgently. Once smart phones came out in
the
mid-2000s and the way people were using them, I confirmed my
initial
decision not to join that culture. I prefer to be "fully present"
in
public.
I've worked at a couple of hospitals, and whenever I still see
those things, they remind me of better days (of course,
they're usually on doctors).

Is this a OCLUG meeting or a Beer SIG?
"yes".
"In person" is not the same as maskless. People can have
perfectly valuable
and enjoyable social interactions while still respectfully
wearing masks, as
has been established the past two years.
They are even better when food is shared. The Linux Plumbers
Conference
and Linux Security Summit we attended in September in Dublin
demonstrated that very clearly.
But not in a bar this week. Such a choice, especially without
concern and
action to involve virtual participants who may be the most
isolated, is
exclusionary at the least, IMO.
*I* don't have a mobile device, but I'm not adverse to having
someone
with such a device join us and connect to the virtual meeting.
Ottawa has its most COVID-19 hospitalizations in 9 months

I've been following the poop-meter regularly for more than two
years:

Mine is a personal choice. I am comfortable with my informed risk
taking into account vaccine status and previous exposure and the
risk to
other household members.
I'm not a member of TUPOC (they are currently hanging out at the
public archives and national library...).
