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

BruceKingsbury answered the call, and since March 2006 we have had a regular monthly get-together, seperate from the WLUG meetings, that invites people to bring their computers and Linux problems all to one place for investigation, and hopefully repair.

Each SaturdayWorkshop has its own page which is advertised in the SideBar for a month before; people who would be interested in attending should announce themselves and what they'd like help with on that page. If there are enough people interested in a particular topic, someone from the LUG who is an expert in that area might be able to be leaned on to come and help!


Archived requests for help:

  • 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.)
  • 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.
