July's meetup is now posted on luma.com/LondonLinux and www.meetup.com/londonlinux/

So, it just so happens that yesterday the Meetup membership hit exactly 2K ("K" not "k"). Shame nobody noticed before the meeting...

A big thank you to everyone who turned up, tonight, despite the many inconveniences. Hopefully see you next month. The next event will be up on Luma and Meetup very soon.

The Met Office have issued a red warning for extreme heat today, so we understand if you choose not to attend. At least one of us will be there, however, and the pub is well-ventillated and air-conditioned.

Oh, joy! After all the assurances from my neighbours, a month ago, that all the banging and drilling was done with after 6 months of noise, more hammering and drilling today. #SickOfIt

London Linux Drinks are now also hosted on Luma: luma.com/LondonLinuxD...

London Linux will soon be posting events on Luma in addition to Meetup. Watch this space for the announcement. In the meantime, the June event on the 24th has been posted and is open for sign-ups. Please join us. www.meetup.com/londonlinux/...

Tonight we are trying something a little different. Did you miss FOSSDEM? Well a little piece of FOSDEM is coming to us, as one of our regulars presents a run-through of the material he presented there. Let's see how that goes...

Quick reminder - we're back, next Wednesday - January 28th. The Hand & Racquet, Wimbledon, from 19:00. See www.meetup.com/londonlinux for specific details. Booking in is not mandatory, but it helps gauge interest.

Happy New Year. We will be back meeting up again at the end of the month.

We're back next week for the final meetup of the year. (There will not be a December meet, given that everyone is going to be busy on the 24th...) www.meetup.com/londonlinux/...

Tux gets about a bit. (Seen in Finchley.)

There are still a few tickets remaining from the final ticket drop for BSides London on December 13th. bsides.london/event-inform... bit.ly/BSidesLDN202...

The final #BSidesLDN2025 ticket drop is a little over 17 hours away, at 13:37 tomorrow. Be punctual... The tickets are free, but the event has to be ticketed (and strict about it) simply due to popularity and venue limits. Follow the ticket link at bsides.london/event-inform...

Tomorrow already... Remember, we're 4th Wednesday, *not* final Wednesday of the month.

This month's meetup is posted... www.meetup.com/londonlinux/... Come join us.

Well that was a nice cozy gathering on Wednesday. Nice to have new faces and old that we don't see very often. September's is now open for sign-up. Please come join us. www.meetup.com/londonlinux/...

Great to see people yesterday. New faces and old. We're doing it all again next month. Come be under the umbrella of a common interest in Linux. www.meetup.com/londonlinux/...

It's not up on the web site, yet, but @emfcamp.bsky.social has announced the dates for next year. Keep an eye for web site updates. Don't expect ticket releases for quite some time, yet, though.

Too many people mistake 127.0.0.1 for "home" when in fact, what it really is is ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub74...

Next Wednesday. Who's coming?

Less than two weeks to the next meetup in Wimbledon. Will you be there? www.meetup.com/londonlinux/...

It's not Linux, but I bet it will appeal to some of the same people: direct access to some vintage operating systems running on vintage or emulated vintage hardware. ssh [email protected]

London Linux now has an explicit code of acceptable behaviour, and it is published on our landing page on Meetup, but for our followers I shall post it here in a thread: 1/4
