Thursday, May 22⋅6:30 – 9:00pm
Monthly on the third Thursday
TOPIC: AI and Coding with Voice Presenter: Craig Buchek
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Craig_Buchek&sa=D&so…>
Writing to Your Best Friend For Fun and Profit
Ever since he was 16 (1987), Craig dreamed of controlling his computer with
his voice.It is nearly 40 years later, and he's is not much further along
in making that dream a reality.Lately, he's been giving it some more
effort.The journey can provide us with some valuable insights, along with
some curmudgeonly rants.
In this two part series, we will explore where we are with speaking to the
computer.
In the first part (Wednesday May 14), we covered dictation, voice control,
and text-to-speech.In this second part, we will explore using voice with
Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and coding.
AI is changing how we do a lot of things. This includes how we interact
with our devices, especially when we're writing code.
We will demonstrate conversations with AI assistants like *Claude *and
*ChatGPT*. We will then do some *voice coding with GitHub Copilot*.
Finally, we will demonstrate *Cursorless*, an entirely different way to
think about interacting with code.
See https://www.stllinux.org/
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.stllinux.org/&sa=D&source=calendar…>
for
current information. The *URL* link to this meeting is posted earlier in
the day of the meeting on the above home page. It is the link called "*linked
here*".
Face to Face meeting, with beer and pizza. Buy your own.
Social meeting only, not a regular SLUUG meeting, no presentations.
Tomorrow Evening ~ 2025-05-15 ~ Thursday
18:30 ~ ( 6:30pm ) Doors open at 16:00 ~ ( 4:00pm )

Subject: Re: Physical in-person mtng THURS 6:30pm 15 May. CRAIG Buchek
To: SLUUG general discussion <discuss(a)sluug.org>
At 6:30pm Thurs (ie in 3 days)
Since no other venue has been suggested, it appears that the familiar
Nick $ Elena's Pizzeria,
3007 Woodson Rd, Breckenrige Hills, MO
will be the chosen location.
The website for Nick & Elena's Pizzeria says the doors open at 4:00pm.
Might be a good idea to arrive early and place your order.
> https://nick-elenas-pizzeria.foodjoyy.com/
We are not planning any kind of presentation; but, does anyone know if
Nick & Elena's Pizzeria still has WiFi available?
It'd be nice to let us know if you're coming so that we can arrange the
chairs.

Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC)
www.slacc.orgslacc.sluug.org
___1_May_2025__
6:30 ~ 9:00 PM ( Central Standard Time, USA )
**We will open the remote session at about 6:00 PM**
**Join early to test your microphone, screen and video sharing**
**** Microphone Or Webcam Are Not Required to Join ****
This ZOOM session will use the following link:
> https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85691640343?pwd=WlKbEb36ltV1FQsT6Ftd0RLDSyGetQ.1
The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest,
longest enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization
active in the Greater St. Louis Area.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of any
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Further instructions below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use ZOOM remote video service 1 May 2025.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser. We suggest
that you clear browser cache and cookies before starting any session.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:
We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Standard Time.
Join early to test your controls, hearing (sound), video screen sharing
and microphone (speaking). You might be muted on entry.
During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset can result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at least earbuds is highly
recommended. Wired Ethernet is always better than WiFi connectivity.
If you do not take the time and make the effort to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Annoying disruptions
may cause you to be kicked off the session.
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:
6:00 PM Join early.
Please set your identity to show first name and last name. Instead of
full last name you could just follow first name with an initial. We
do prefer that you use your full last name.
Please hold you questions until after start of the meeting.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6:30 PM 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. Disconnecting and reconnecting usually
fixes issues from an initial problem session.
All may be muted at this point. You will 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 may 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:
We usually hold a Hardware and Software Configuration Workshop when
nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other
event or activity scheduled. This is an open free format workshop.
In this workshop we usually assess, 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.
