January Linux SIG Agenda

Our next Linux SIG meets Monday, January 18 at 7:00 pm. This month is something special and not exclusively Linux as together we attempt to learn more about Zoom communications and how Zoom might be used here at TBCS to include members who cannot come to monthly meetings.

Zoom is a huge improvement over Skype and Adobe Connect that has been adopted by APCUG our parent group for their internal and virtual communications. John Kennedy, my Zoom mentor from APCUG, may join us live from afar at this January meeting.zoomwideI cannot pull this Zoom demo off myself so I’ll need your support. If possible bring your laptop, tablet or smartphone to use in our demo (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android – sorry no Chromebook solution yet). See more at http://zoom.us

Tonight’s Zoom connect link is: https://zoom.us/j/309178543
