Intel Contact Info
by nick 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Greetings All, I was wondering if anyone knows who to contact at Intel if possible at least in Toronto, the reason I'm asking is they don't have any email contacts to local branches on the site at least from my searching. As for the Hack Labs I have a also new Intel Galileo board if someone wants to take that off me. It's a gift that hasn't really see much use so it's probably better someone else has some fun with it. Or someone else can take it off of me if there interested. Nick P.S. I did email Chris and it seems that he does have contacts in Toronto so I will see what happens with that.

Software to draw illustrations?
by William Park 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hi all, What software do people use to draw illustrations that you'd see in textbooks or presentations? Eg. data structure, high school math, block diagrams, etc. I mean, I see them, but I don't know how to create them. -- William Park <opengeometry(a)yahoo.ca>

Samsung monitor power supply
by Giles Orr 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

I've been given a 24" Samsung monitor. I don't know if it works because it requires a specialized power supply, and that didn't come with. It takes 12-14VDC on a barrel connector - I have laptop power supplies that fit it, but as most of them provide 19v I haven't tried to use them as they'd probably kill it - point being, it appears to be a common connector type. I was wondering if anyone had a spare power supply for this thing lying around that they're willing to give away. Since I don't even know if it works, I'd rather not pay you for it ... Thanks. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr(a)gmail.com

Hacklab Toronto - Moving Crowd Fund
by Scott Sullivan 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Howdy Folks, Hacklab Toronto has been a great friend to the GTALUG community. We had over lap of member of our community. The last few GTALUG Linux in Parks have been hosted by them. GTALUG's board and volunteers have used it as meeting space. Hacklab has co-hosted some of our out-of-cycle guest spearks (last years bash talk). Many of you have found treasures, or divested yourself of junk at the Junk Independence Days. We've been forced to move out of 5 year home due to long term construction that will the leave building uninhabitable until completed. Hacklab has found a new permanent home and we're looking for assistance in funding the work to make the space function for our needs. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hacklab-to-is-moving-again/x/2472524#/ w/ Hacklab Member Hat on, and GTALUG president hat off. -- Scott Sullivan
