Ubuntu => It Meeting

[Cloggie]

Beerian,

Last time we talked about different version of Linux but it can be about any subject.

First time we discussed VPN, PCAnywhere, remote desktop, VPN, VNC, why / who not use Open Sourse

There is no agenda, just 'genaral' discussions about IT and not only related to Ubuntu anymore

[ColinChapman]

See you all tomorrow. I may not be able to get there until 7.30 - 8.00, but I will definitely be there.

[urandom]

the hardcore crew will be there [1] but it seems difficult to get new faces to show up...

[Crushdepth]

[devdrinker]

proposing a few beers tonight - 27th - soi 8 bar 8pm?

[Cloggie]

Dear all,

Next IT meeting / Geek meeting is January 12th in Soi 8 Bar, Sukhumvit Soi 8, Bangkok

When you enter the bar, look for the table with all the laptops on it

December 15th was the last IT meeting and it was very interesting again.

Hope to see some new faces next year at the first IT meeting of 2011.

Cheers,

M.

Hi Cloggie,

BugJackBaron (who lives in Pattaya if i remember correctly) is in bkk every monday/thursday. therefore he could join if we move the meeting to one of these days.

cheers

[Cloggie]

Urandom,

No problem to move it to Thursday January 13th.

What about Colin Chapman, Dharmabam, Crushdepth, DevDrinker, Siamect - any problems with this new date?

Cheers,

Cloggie

I prefer Wednesday, but if the verdict is for Thursday, I'll be there (you don't get rid of me that easily).

you don't need to contribute (unless you want to pay the tab), but many of us are there to answer questions, not to ask! ;>}

(actually, saying many is 3/4 of 5, so that may not be the best way to describe it, but come along anyway!)

[ColinChapman]

So is it definitely Thursday then?

[Crushdepth]

I'm ok for Thursday, I don't mind.

[Cloggie]

Lets make it Thursday January 13th - same time / same place - and see whap happens.

[BugJackBaron]

Lets make it Thursday January 13th - same time / same place - and see whap happens.

aren't you the reason we switched to thursday?! that's it, you're buying the first round!

[Cloggie]

For all newcomers tomorrow, just look for the table with guys with beer behind laptops and no girls interested in joining them.......

[devdrinker]

Tentative. Will need to see how things progress with work tomorrow

[devdrinker]

52 beers later. Talking gibberish (nowt too serious) about windows / linux / microsoft / ipads / (groovy/php/j2ee/python/nodejs). Next meet 10 or 11th feb (cant remember) come along - all welcome. Cant miss it a table with 3/4 laptops on.

Last night had an interesting meeting again in Soi 8 Bar, Sukhumvit Soi 8 in Bangkok.

Colin Chapman, Dharmabam, Crushdepth and also two new 'members' showed up: BugJackBaron and Devdrinker

Absent WITHOUT notice: Urandom also waiting for DaveJonesBKK and Siamect - hopefully next time they all show up as well

My OpenBox problem was solved, a demonstration with a Google phone and a 'layer' so you can SEE pictures from people who post on Twitter where they are (please correct me if I am wrong Crushdepth)

Also discussion about Google / Android / Apple, "Evil yes / no" what data do they send home or to advertisers, do we still believe in privacy or if you use INTERNET or does privacy NOT exist anymore as everything you do is logged / monitored / recorded somewhere....

Buy software or use open / free software? Why - why not? Local staff issues, how to setup a company in Thailand etc etc all very interesting stuff.

Unfortunately I had to catch the latest bus back to Pattaya so I had stop after 4 bottles of Heineken.

Next meeting will be Thursday February 10th - still enough place for new members, join ALL!!

See you there.

Cheers,

Cloggie

PS - as we all agree food is EXCELLENT at Soi 8 Bar

[livinthailandos]

one day I hope to attend this kind of meeting but i'm unable to attend since I live on koh samui, whenever there is another meeting and I need to head to bangkok I'll make sure to attend, I run ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook and use HTC Desire android 2.2

[davejonesbkk]

Sorry I totally forgot about this, been insanely busy with work recently and not had much chance for anything else

[ukrules]

I'm interested in Centos Linux in a server environment, maybe I'll come to the next one as I'm in Bangkok most of the time now.
