Main Meeting-Friday, May 1, 2015, at 7:30 pm

Join us on Friday, May 1, 2015, 7:30 pm, at Calvary Baptist Church, 28924 Ruus Road, Hayward.

Member, Don Odle, works as a VA volunteer, with a group supporting and upgrading computers for use by the VA patients at several hospitals. Don has developed an extensive list of programs to keep the computers optimized for the best performance and secure from the huge number of Spyware, Viruses, and information thieves out there. These programs are all free and as simple and safe to install as possible.

For the presentation, Don will review the current list and explain the use and value of each component. Since these tools are updated on a daily or weekly basis, he will bring 3 x 5 cards with the whole list and the current versions for those who attend the meeting.

Linux SIG is on May 2nd!

Due to a scheduling conflict, the April Spectacular Linux SIG will be moved from Saturday, April 25th, to Saturday, May 2nd. Planned presentations include Del Parton showing off more of the Raspberry Pi 2 and a look at Kubuntu 15.04 beta 2. 

Tutorials will include some discussion of UEFI and some of its advantages. Also, due to my recent adventures with putting Linux on a UEFI computer, At last, Android 5 finally came to my phone. We'll take a brief look at what's new, as my phone will talk to the projector and show what's going on.

See you at the Spectacular Linux SIG Saturday, May 2nd. Expect another notice next week.
