[Announce] May 12, 2020 - MUG Meeting

[craig at decafbad.net]

We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. 

 This month our meeting will be online. Link is forthcoming.

 Topics Include:

 Mozilla Hubs and Virtual Reality

 In these times, with social isolation being a new reality for many of
us, Zoom and its ilk may seem like the way to meet with other humans,
face to face, as it were, but it's not the only way. In fact, video-
conferencing is, if you'll pardon the expression, 'so last century".
Virtual reality is where it's at, so get ready to enter the OASIS. VR
even has an open source champion with Mozilla and Mozilla Hubs. Marcel
will talk virtual worlds, teaching and presenting in a virtual
environment, how to create, access, and work in virtual reality in a
way that works even if you don't have a Virtual Reality headset, like
an Oculus Quest or HTC Vive. We'll cover world editors, avatar
creation, sharing your desktop in VR, and all sorts of other virtual
goodies. So, on the evening of May 12th, polish up those avatars and
let's get virtual. 

 Marcel Gagné is probably best known as the "Cooking With Linux" guy,
aka, Writer and Free Thinker at Large. Science, Linux, and technology
geek. Long time columnist for Linux Journal, LinuxPro Magazine, Ubuntu
User Magazine, SysAdmin, and others. Author of six books including
"Linux System Administration: A User's Guide" and the "Moving to

Occasionally opinionated. Always confused. Loves wine, food, music,
and the occasional single malt Scotch. 

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
