A number of people have expressed interest in a "Saturday Workshop" similar to the meetings currently held by the Hamilton PC Computer Group.

I (zcat) propose that we organise a monthly meeting on the Saturday following the regular WLUG meeting. The inaugural SaturdayWorkshop is scheduled for 1 April 2006 at my house. Hopefully this will be only the first of many.

People who would be interested in attending should announce themselves and what they'd like help with on this page.

  • Gun Caundle and RodAldridge have both expressed interest already.
  • Bill Rosoman would like help setting up MythTV
  • BruceKingsbury would like help configuring Asterisk (I've got it working but I don't understand which parts of the SIP config relate to dialing in and dialing out, or how 'contexts' work so that I can be sure people calling in via fwd and sipphone can't make toll calls through my system.)
  • IvanPotgieter would like help with:

    1. configuring exim
    2. configuring dual displays in X (Gnome) using two video cards.
    3. adjusting bandwidth allocation, on the fly, per application (for downloading)
    4. Installing / configuring a Wiki server
  • Chris O'Halloran (cmoman) would like assistance getting his onboard sound card VIA82.... to work properly with streaming video (mplayer). Amaorok and alsa work fine but streaming video...lots of sporadic squeeches.

I am also interested in setting up authentication on my webserver/wiki to allow only registered users to view and modify the content. Also interested in looking at what MythTV actually looks like.
