showing up this month gets a few LOPSA stickers, compliments of <a href="http://www.lopsa.org";>LOPSA</a> and <a href="http://www.standalone-sysadmin.com/blog/";>Matt Simmons</a>.
 I haven’t had a chance to get started on the re-branding of the site 
yet, but that will be completed before the November meeting, so I can 
start year 15 with a new look. In celebration, I’ll buy the coffee and 
snacks for the meeting.</p><p>The annual social will be at the Mill St. Brew Pub again. I have 
asked for a better seating arrangement for this year. High bar stools at
 a small table are not quite what I have in mind this time around. This is tentatively 
scheduled for Dec 19, 2013</p><p>Items/Talking Points for the October Meeting:</p>
<ul>
<li>Raspberry Pi as a PBX. I did a talk at OCLUG about this and a few 
people found it interesting enough to ask for the slides. I’ll publish 
them on this site as well after our meeting.</li>
<li>Alternative VOIP providers – you would be surprised at what you can get</li>
<li>Somewhat intersting news for the future of publishing. I’ll talk about a recent post O’Reilly had on document production</li>
<li>Live example of creating an epub or other documentation using pandoc</li>
<li>Anyone played with a Beagle Bone Black? I’ll bring one with me to look at</li>
</ul><p>Of course, any and all other topics are also valid, bring questions/problems/solutions.</p></div><br></div> <!--end of _originalContent --></body>
