Bruce-Grey Linux Users Group

Owing to conflicts, our usual monthly meeting will not be held in February.

Our next meeting will be January 3rd, 7 pm, at the Grey Bruce Community Makers Space, at 1130 8th St E in Owen Sound. Enter by the main door. You bring your favourite non alcoholic beverage; Andrew will bring pizza.

Topic of the meeting: circuit design software. Andrew has been fooling around with Eagle in Linux and can demo that. With Eagle you can graphically create a schematic diagram then the software assists with PCB layout. Unfortunately it is NOT free software and the community edition has some limitations. Andrew can also demo KiCad which is Libre software with similar functions. Maybe other group members have used other software.

The floor us always open for anyone to talk about everything. Especially things electronic or computer related.

Our next meeting will be December 6th, 7 pm, at the Grey Bruce Community Makers Space, at 1130 8th St E in Owen Sound. Enter by the main door.

Meeting will feature a tour of the Maker space ... which is mostly under construction. Makerspace received a large donation of electronic components and they need help identifying and listing everything. We might help move some furniture. If you want to donate hardware bring it next week. And of course we always have great tech discussions.

Let's get this going again. United Way, Tuesday September 6th at 7pm. Andrew will bring pizza, you bring your favourite non alcoholic beverage.

Topic will be Raspberry Pi. Have you done any projects with a pi? Bring it, demo it, show it off. Andrew will do a presentation on using Raspberry Pi for digital advertising using a TV and pisignage.com and will bring his Pi-Cam. The r-pi is ten years old now (released in February 2012). Let's see what you have done with it.

And like usual there will be incomprehensible tech talk and an exchange of free hardware, software and ideas.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, August 2, 7 pm, at Joe Tomato's in Owen Sound.

Because of staffing shortages, the meeting room at the back of the restaurant is closed. So we will occupy a large table in the main body of the restaurant, as we did last meeting.

We're back to in-person meetings! Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 5, 7 pm, at Joe Tomato's in Owen Sound. We use the meeting room at the back of the restaurant.

Current rules allow us to meet, talk, eat and drink together. On the other hand if you are worried about COVID and decide not to come on Tuesday that's ok too. 

Bring whatever you've been working on that you want to share. Andrew will bring his esp8266 weather station and a new dual arduino/ esp8266 proto board. Books, magazines, hardware ... whatever you want to share.
