Ryedale Linux User Group Previous Meetings
The November meet was a fairly quiet event. I was late getting details of venue and date on the net, so didn't expect a huge turnout, but just two of us had a pleasant evening in the Tap Room of the Spotted Cow. So the list of attendees reads: Al Girling and Matthew Gates.
As we are both keen OSM mappers we spent much time talking of this, with provisional arrangements being made to start mapping from my canoe so that detail of the River Derwent might be improved.
Matthew is on the development team for the Astronomical software, Stellarium, so we chatted about this and how it has improved much recently. I was very interested to learn that it can be used to create a planetarium. A mirrored sphere is required, but I'm sure something can be found so we might have an Astronomical evening with our own planetarium.
Many other things were discussed; ranging from Terry Pratchett and Alzheimer's, podcasts and a host of other things computer related or not. So overall, a quiet but pleasant night.
