We have regular sessions on sometimes the second, sometimes the fourth Saturday of each month. Bring a 'box', bring a notebook, bring anything that might run Linux, or just bring yourself and enjoy socialising/learning/teaching or simply chilling out!
This month's meeting is at the Station Pub in West Byfleet, Surrey.
A milestone meeting, our first in-person after the long gap due to the pandemic, though our regular twice-monthly Jitsi sessions kept us together. Priscilla, 2 Johns, Anthony, Peter, Aidan, Jay (all the way from sunny Cornwall!) and even Richard (all the way from sunny HK!). Plus virtual attendees Tony and Halina.
For the time being, we'll be meeting using meet.jit.si/SurreyLUGBaB each 2nd and 4th Saturday. We may just be having a natter, or there might be presentations, in which case full details will be on the mailing list. Timing may be flexible, people might drift into the meeting as early as 11am, and if there's useful discussion it might go on until late afternoon.

This month's meeting is via the open source Jitsi, further details to follow and on the mailing list.
During the day some came and went, some stayed throughout, pretty much the way a real life pub meeting goes, and at least 10 of us tried it, with always 6 or 7 present. Topics ranged far and wide, including...
Ten of us in the very suitable function room of the Lion Brew, a venue that we've often used. Mike was showing us some of the delights of programming an Arduino with none of the GUI tools that are regrettably lacking accessibility. But Mike has conquered this with the command line and even using simple interrupt handling in C.
The staff had forgotten our booking, due to using an iPad (ugh!), so we lost our usual space. Despite this setback, it was a good meeting.
People came and went, perhaps 15 visitors in all, though probably no
more than 12 of us at any one time. I wished I'd paid more attention
to the long session Peter and Martin were having with ssh'ing into a
RaspPi and setting up something.
Happily another successful meeting, in the function room
upstairs in the Richmond Arms. About 15 of us. Of course my stand-up comedy spot was
received with the same degree of enthusiasm as it always is, I don't
know how to express my gratitude! Alas, it's time to move on, all of
my jokes have been original creations, featuring penguins and open
Our Christmassy meeting, rounding off another successful year!
