%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00pm Start testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking
with the following site:
> https://test.webrtc.org
During this period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at-least earbuds is highly
recommended. Ethernet is better than WiFi connectivity.
****DO NOT USE ICEWEASLE, SAFARI or FIREFOX BROWSER****
Until further notice, unless you are evil, do NOT join our session using
any Firefox based browser. Currently known Firefox compatibility bugs
cause problems for others already in Jitsi sessions.
****DO NOT USE ICEWEASLE, SAFARI or FIREFOX BROWSER****
If you do not make the effort and take the time to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Try dropping your
connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues. But, do so slowly,
as granting access to your microphone and camera too quickly is the
current main problem. Also, there are often sound settings in different
browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
Do NOT remain showing as Fellow Jitster. Set your identity to show
first name and last name. We do prefer that you use your full last
name. Instead of full last name you could just follow first name with
an initial.
Going into the chat room may allow you to set your name there. Or, at
three vertical dots (more actions) in lower right hand corner, select
Settings, then under Profile "Set your display name" (you can ignore
the "Set your gravatar email block").
Meeting may be recorded for quality control.
Assistance with controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking ends.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
6:30pm Start of meeting.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments.
Annoying disruptions may cause you to be kicked off the session.
You might be muted on entry, so join early if you want to test your
camera or microphone. Use letter V on keyboard to toggle your camera.
Use letter M on keyboard to toggle (mute or unmute) your audio. You do
not need a camera, nor microphone to watch and listen with your browser.
All might be muted at this point. You may have to unmute yourself
in order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORDER OF EVENTS:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user at the meeting may select general and specific topics.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share our knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving, techniques and troubleshooting.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use. However, it has many benefits.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.

TOPIC: The Internet Archive
SYNOPSIS:
The Internet Archive turns 25 yrs old!
We'll start at 6:30pm with very brief announcements, or important
questions. By 6:35 or 6:40pm, we should be having our speaker for
this evening, Scott Granneman.
In 1996, a young computer scientist named Brewster Kahle dreamed
of building a Library of Everything on the Internet. He called it
the Internet Archive.
This year on Oct 21, the Internet Archive is turning 25. So, Scott
Granneman of SLUUG will take us down memory lane. Scott has pulled
various gems from the Archive for classes he's taught at Washington
University and Webster University. Scott will give us a flavor of
what goodies are available.
After Scott's talk, we can stay in our StL mtg and chat about general
Linux things, or go way back with Brewster Kahle to the early days of
the Internet...
anniversary.archive.org
Join the Virtual Celebration from San Francisco and elsewhere on Zoom.
The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library in the heart of
the Richmond District in San Francisco, CA. It convenes the
Decentralized Web Summit (https://decentralizedweb.net/) and other
events.
