Hey David, Welcome! I'm in Ashton myself so can definitely relate to being "between my people" with hotspots in Belleville, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal, etc. Not many in LGL although there are some very interesting Linux people around. There is a Makerspace at uOttawa: https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-engineering/centre-entrepreneurship-engineering-design/facilities/richard-labbe-makerspace Welcoming, and bilingual. I think there is a meetup and club too - really great if you're into 3D printing! Cheers, Katie ________________________________ From: David J Patrick via linux <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org> Sent: 04 December 2024 11:35 To: Scott Murphy <scott [ dot ] murphy [ at ] arrow-eye [ dot ] com> Cc: Linux-Ottawa <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org> Subject: Re: [linux] December meeting announcement: 2024-12-05 @ 19:00 EST Attention : courriel externe | external email Hi linuxers! David here, from Montreal, Toronto and now Pembroke! I'm a 20+ year linux user turned evangelist, I was a member of several hacklabs and makerspaces in Toronto, and for about 6 years I ran a little neighbourhood joint called "linuxcaffe". Obviously, I'm into the open source thing, BUT here in Pembroke I just can't find "my people". Where be the local nerds? Is there a local LUG? Is there anything resembling a MakerSpace around here? Can we start one? I might be able to join the Jitsi meetup tomorrow, but I'm putting it out there! djp On Tue, 3 Dec 2024 at 22:53, Scott Murphy via linux <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org<mailto:linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org>> wrote: Meeting Announcement: Linux-Ottawa December 2024 Meeting.
