You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT USE:
Instead of using a browser, it has been recommended to use the official
Jitsi appimage clients. Reportedly using the client consistently has
better results, with fewer connectivity, sound or video issues.
Appimage MS Windows, macOS and Linux client releases...
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/
Mobile app clients for Apple or Android...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00pm Begin testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking.
During the next half hour 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. Using Ethernet is better than WiFi connectivity.
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 only recorded for attendance tracking and quality control.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
START OF MEETING:
6:30pm The meeting starts. You should have tested sound and video.
Assistance with controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking ends.
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. Full
list of short cuts available with the ? key.
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.
You do not need a camera, nor microphone to just watch and listen with
using your browser.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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.

SEMI-bug will have a presentation on July 18th at 1900 hours EDT, by
John "Maddog" Hall, about the Linux Professional Institute.
The Jitsi URL is:
https://meet.jit.si/SemiBugLPI
Title: The Linux Professional Institute and you
Abstract: Founded in 1999, the Linux Professional Institute (lpi.org)
is a non-profit that is dedicated to improving the professional landscape
of Free and Open Source Software.
This talk will discuss how certificates are different from a university
training, why LPI is different from other certifications, how the
certifications are developed and why they may be the best path for
many people.
About Jon "Maddog" Hall:
During his career in commercial computing which started in 1969 (over
a half-century ago), Mr. Hall has been a programmer, systems designer,
systems administrator, product manager, technical marketing manager,
educator, author, CEO and consultant.
Mr. Hall has worked for such companies as Western Electric Corporation,
Aetna Life and Casualty, Bell Laboratories, Digital Equipment Corp.,
VA Linux Systems, IBM, SGI, Futura Networks (Campus Party) and Linaro
as well as being a private consultant for other companies.
Mr Hall has worked on many systems, both proprietary and open, having
concentrated on Unix systems since 1980 and Linux systems since 1994
(over a quarter century ago), when he first met Linus Torvalds and
correctly recognized the commercial importance of Linux and Free and
Open Source Software. Mr. Hall served, and continues to serve, as
the Executive Director of Linux International.
Needless to say, this should be a really good presentation.

Kind regards,
Jonathan Drews
