Chuck reported a conversation with Sid Jordan regarding reopening a PCC clubhouse facility at Hayward Adult School.
Chuck has been contacted about running for school board. He will be conducting interviews with community leaders to be broadcast over KEPT, 96.9 FM Hayward. There will be opportunities for community participation. It is non-commercial, supported by donations. As a result, he cannot continue planning a monthly program.
Chuck opened nominations for the Board of Directors election, to take place on December 4, 2015.

Presentation: The group of attendees explored how to upload videos to YouTube and get them watched. Of course, we started by looking up “how to” videos on YouTube.com.

Click on “Files to Open.” Navigate to the file location.
A concise title and a focused description are important. Tags are important, too. They are how people find your video via a search.
Start with setting the video to Private until you have checked your work. Typing a message will share the information that you've uploaded a video to your subscribers.
A thumbnail presents a screenshot that the audience will see before opening the video.
In Advance Settings you can allow or disallow comments, monitor views and ratings, limit viewer age, monetize, select a category, select the video location, select a language, set the recording date.
Note that your video will first upload at a low resolution, but will improve as the entire upload is processed.
The next step, logically: how to delete a video from YouTube.
Start out by signing in. Select the Video Manager option and all your uploads should appear. The Edit option just below it opens the opportunity to Delete.
After the break member Andrew Tews demonstrated disabling information uploading: Once you load programs on your computer, information from the source is uploaded to Google, Microsoft, Apple . . . . Who all say its safe.

CCleaner is a free download that will remove unneeded stuff from your computer.
Do not defrag a solid state drive. They operate fast enough that they do not benefit, and you just use up free space andyour read/write operations for which the drive is warranted.
Member Don Odle reported on a free program, Ninite, downloadable from at Ninite.com, that checks and updates programs automatically.
