From TWUUG

• Another "open forum" type meeting. With various discussions and topics. Including questions/answers about video capture, donated systems, installing Android Linux on an HP Touchpad, etc.
• Mark Davis:
  • Talked about the growing project of electronic signs at Lake Taylor. Took a peek at Xibo
  • "Show and tell" for a quality Raspberry Pi case.
  • Demoed the fast, simple, and powerful Geeqie Linux image viewing and management program. Geeqie is the fork and successor to the now dead Gqview program.
• Matthew Fillpot gave a brief update on Steam for Linux and the just released Portal game for Linux. He also shared a quick tip for determining the distro and version by looking at the LSB /etc/os.release file, which is becoming more standard now.
