I'm sure it was great, Colin. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend. I originally sent the message Tuesday morning, but it bounced around for a day with a "FAILED_PRECONDITION: connect error (111): Connection refused" issue. On the subject of boating and Linux, I did just see this: RCgmbh/PiLot: dotnet core based projects for the PiLot navigation and logbook program for raspberry pi — https://github.com/RCgmbh/PiLot/ via the Raspberry Pi Forum: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=340217 Stewart

I received multiple messages yesterday from the list, many of which appear to be up to a couple months old. The one that follows is a fine example: Colin and Stewart had a conversation in September, which for some reason was released to me 2022-11-13-11:11. Along with about another ten threads, not included here. This is very weird behaviour, and makes it hard for me (and anyone else seeing this behaviour) to participate in the conversations. And yet I've seen other emails to the list in the two months in between. Very strange indeed. On Sun, 13 Nov 2022 at 11:11, Colin McGregor via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Interesting, I will have to check out how this compares to "AvNav" another web based navigation program that can run on a Raspberry Pi (and is one of the MANY packages included with Bareboat Necessities ( https://bareboat-necessities.github.io/ ) (I did mention Bareboat Necessities in my talk, but not AvNav)).

Thanks.

Colin.

The mail software (MailMan) kicked those messages to the moderator.

The current moderator is sort of / somewhat retired and just got to them.

We could use more volunteers to do tasks like this. Note: I don't appoint people.

Never having set foot in a local meeting (the commute from Montreal is too long :) ) I'm not known to any of you except through my rare contributions to this list. But, it's a job that can be done remotely and I am often near a computer, so I'd be willing to help with moderation. I can't remember exactly how I got here. It would have been one of two similar 'campaigns'. First, LUGs started to disappear at some point. Frequently having questions in those years, I started to search for alternatives to the LUGs that were folding around me. The second was after I moved to Montreal. In 2017 the annual Debian Conference was hosted in Montreal. I got involved since I was a debian user and mlug has been for all intents and purposes inactive, so I figured I meet the debian québec gang (I think some of you may have met anarcat from Montreal. He gave a packaging presentation in TO, I think). One of the things I was asked to help with was publicising the event to Canadian geeks. So I had another go at finding still existing LUGs in order to spread the word. Having written all that out, I think it was the 2nd, Debconf related, campaign where I discovered GTALUG. I've been on this list, and hanging in #debian-quebec on irc @oftc (joeDoe on irc) and going to pre-pandemic and resently restarted debian-quebec get-togethers ever since :) I only once had a Linux job that lasted (~1 year) until the Dotcom boom went bomb. In other words, my interest in Linux is purely as a home user and advocate. My last job was in fact very un technical: crossing guard :) Let me know if you'd like me to help moderate. -- Znoteer znoteer@mailbox.org

Thanks very much for stepping forward. The board will surely respond.

Thanks for the history -- very interestsing.

Do consider attending our tele-meetings. Each meeting since the start of the pandemic has been remote. Most recently, on Big Blue Button. To "attend" you only need a GUI browser and a good internet connection. But this is a limited-time offer: many are hoping to get back to face-to-face meetings.

I would suggest that it be considered that GTALUG broadcast the meetings at the same time as they are face-to-face. I'm betting that more of us remote types would appreciate that option!!! Regards
