Please come early, if you can, to help set up the room.

The meeting will follow our normal format with introductions all around, collecting technical questions to answer later, then any presentations, and finishing with our best answers to the technical questions.

I am interested discussion topics for the coming months. Please send me your suggestions.

Last month we discussed these and other topics:

A reminder that LinuxFest Northwest will be in Bellingham on April 26-28

One member uses Kubernetes in his home lab and uses them to support his 3D printer and laser cutter. Another person mentioned getting 3D models from Thingiverse

Another member was setting up a Playstation emulator

I wall-mounted a smart switch with a 3D printed bracket and another member was installing a wall mounted server rack

We spent some time talking about good backup solutions and the use of snapshots and multiple backup storage systems:

• Best Linux Backup Tools
• Snapper
• Timeshift

We discussed some of the open source cell phone software options

Processing email was discussed and Perl and Procmail were mentioned

As usual, we covered "related" topics, the Trachtenberg system

I hope to see you tomorrow.
