JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00pm Start testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking.
During this period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds or earphones may result in a feedback loop with
a laptop microphone. Using a headset is recommended. Ethernet is better
than WiFi connectivity.
****DO NOT USE FIREFOX OR ICEWEASLE BROWSER****
Until further notice, unless you are evil, do NOT join our session using
any Firefox browser. Currently there are known Firefox compatibility
bugs causing problems for others already in Jitsi sessions.
****DO NOT USE FIREFOX OR ICEWEASLE 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. 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 disruptors may 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: Serverless Basics by Frank Syler
Join the Meeting with this direct link:
> https://nyx.omnitec.net/StLouisLinuxUsersGroup
The Saint Louis Linux Users Group (STLLUG) is a non-profit, volunteer
group that provides education, information and/or support for Linux users.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of our
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Instructions are below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use remote video meeting service 16 Sep 2021.
SYNOPSIS:
You've probably heard the term "serverless" thrown around- but what
does it mean? You may have even heard the terms "lambda", "function
as a service", or "cloud function". What are these, and why are they
just the beginning? Should you get in on this way of thinking? Is it
complicated? Do you have to change a lot of things?
Besides the terms, most of the answers, are of course, "yes, no, or
maybe"- but we are going to talk through the main ideas and how they
may or may not be relevant for your application.
Spoiler: the big boys are using this stuff, and you can too.
=====================================================================
IMPORTANT TO US:
Set your identity to show first name and 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").

> Frank is a geek turned lawyer turned recovering lawyer, and is now a corporate minion doing DevOps and architecture work. He's been running Linux since 1996 (Slackware 3.0.3 copied on many floppies, since he didn't yet own a CD-ROM drive in his own machine), and been a professional systems administrator since about 2001. Through college, grad school, and law school, and while practicing law, Frank made a habit of leveraging technology to manage clubs he participated in, consult on various interesting projects, and even use heavy analytics software to produce legal paperwork. Frank grew up in St. Charles and has recently repatriated there from west County.
===============================================
Thurs nite is the stlLUG mtng. 6:30pm Please think who might be invited and call, e-mail, exhort them to come.
Editor’s note:
Serverless is an interesting concept! Yes…it is “in the cloud” and for those of us more concerned with running our own hardware it may not seem important. BUT, serverless should be renamed priceless in my opinion because it actually means that what you have run is too small to bill for!!!
I can foresee a growing demand for this for small business and even perhaps home users. It is a tool that all computer geeks are going to have to know is available.

LINUX WORKSHOP
The workshop is where we usually configure, examine, fix, install,
repair, and troubleshoot difficult hardware and software configuration
problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also frequently fixed.
The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest
enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization active in
the Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
> https://slacc.sluug.org/
NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice. Our usual library
reservations for room meetings were cancelled indefinitely. Room fees
had previously been paid by the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG).
Omnitec Corporation now provides us with this JITSI server.
Face-to-face meeting were usually held on the first Thursday of every
month from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM Central Time, USA. We hope to maintain
that timeline into the future by using ONLINE sessions. All physical
meetings and ONLINE sessions are free and open to the public.
We have no membership dues or other charges for the meetings. So,
please join us at our next meetings, sessions or other events for fun,
knowledge and networking. All computer hardware, operating systems and
