Meeting this week;

NMGLugers, We may have a chance to have the "best choice" debate this week. I've been in touch with a user who needs to upgrade an older install. Not sure what he had, but we can see and perhaps solve some upgrade vs. update issues. I have been up-dating this Debian 9 laptop, but also had some fun with a mini distro, "Peppermint" which looks like Mint with a dark theme and a mash up of lxde and mint menus and themes. But it runs on an older laptop with a Celeron processor and limited ram. I did have to purge 'apt-xapian-index' to keep the CPU free. On this old machine it had quite an impact and slowed down all other functions each boot. Hope to see a few of you at the New Baking Co. on Thursday. Thank you, Ted P.

A few edits and "Latest"
by Ted Pomeroy 17 Apr '18

Hi, NMGLugers, I have made a few edits to the Meetings page, the New Baking Co. page and posted a new notice to the "Latest" page. Jason re-named the "Latest News" to simply "Latest." I will try to add a regular monthly post to this, as there was a 2 year gap in the posts! The New Baking Company has the old logo artwork, but has commissioned the newer logo I added to our location data for them. It shows up on the Meetings page. I really wanted to get rid of the mis-direction to the Chicago bar that came up with "TBD" Quite a joke, but if we want to attract newcomers again we should think about our message. Thank you, Ted P.

NMGLugers, I tried a few edits on the meeting page so it will direct people to the Baking Co. and use the old logo picture. the link to the location page and the layout got me off base, so I stopped. I will discuss this and take advice at todays meeting at 6pm, or a little earlier at the New Baking Co. Thank you, Ted P.

looking for new programming students for this weekend
by Mark Galassi 09 Apr '18

Dear nmglugers, I need your help passing this URL on to people who might be interested in computer programming: https://sites.google.com/site/santafecoding/ Kids are preferred, of course, but grown-ups too. If any of you are interested in learning to program in Python, I have plenty of room! This weekend (April 14+15) I will be teaching another workshop. I am doing it because I had an overflow from the previous course, and many people had asked if I could do another one soon. But many of the people who requested it will not be able to make it, so we will have a small-ish course. That's OK, I will teach the weekend workshop if I have 3 students or more, but I would love to have a few more. So please pass it along!
