M5Stack Workshop

M5Stack Workshop presented by Glasgow Makers and Hardware Hackers

M5stack (https://m5stack.com/) is a modular programmable prototyping device which has the ESP32 at its core. M5stack can be programmed with the arduino IDE, esp-idf, micropython and more. In this workshop we will be focusing on using block programming to control the light, sound, images on the screen, sensors etc. To take part, the only thing you need to bring along is a laptop.

This workshop is suited for anyone, even those who are taking their first steps in coding, and maybe are put off by thinking they have to learn lots of typed commands to do even the most basic of things. The Uiflow interface for M5stack (flow.m5stack.com) is designed to lower the creative barrier so that anyone without prior knowledge can get setup making their first IoT application in minutes.

This workshop is free but there are limited spaces so please sign up for a place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/m5stack-presented-by-glasgow-makers-and-hardware-hackers-tickets-56440681598

If there are no tickets left please add your name to the waiting list and if there is enough demand we will put on an extra workshop.

This month we will be shaking the format up a little and we are going to be discussing the recently passed Investigatory Powers Bill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016

Kindly chaired by Euan Birch of the Caledonian University Ethical Hackig Society - we will be starting the evening with some background into the Bill, then we will be breaking out into a set of questions where we can examine the possitive and negative aspects of this new legislation.

To kick things off, the first question will be:
* What oversight is there for the various parts of the legislation, and are they sufficient

Following the session we will be adjourning to a local bar, this is likely to be the Terrace Bar of the CCA.

Scottish Linux User Group Meeting: Surviving the "Hug of Death"

This month, we have a talk by Kenny Coyle, of STV, on how to serve web content under pressure.

Running a Web Server in a modern environment:

Over the past few years, it has become much simpler to run and maintain your own Web Server. What happens however, when a piece of content that you are hosting suddenly becomes extremely popular?

In this talk, we will demo a basic web server installation, running on a Raspberry Pi, hosting a simple piece of content. We will then perform a load test that will inevitably break this installation and make the system very unresponsive.

We will then continue to go over setting up the various infrastructure elements that will allow our system to withstand such a heavy load of traffic and continue to operate (and be responsive).

September Meeting: Etherpad and Digital Glasgow

The next ScotLUG meeting will be on Thursday 29th of September at the usual spot, the Electron Club in the CCA. We should be kicking around the Electron Club around 6:45PM. We will be aiming to start the talk at 7:30PM.

This month we have a meeting in two parts, kindly led by Martin, the details being as below.

Part 1: Have you ever noticed just how inefficient it is to send messages around to assemble a single document? Even assembling chunks and revision control has problems. Live collaborative text editing broke through first on the Mac with SubEthaEdit and later went mainstream when Google adopted it for their Wave project - Wave was later culled by Google and spun out to an Apache project. Most people who have experienced it have used GoogleDocs - but if you don’t want to be forced to get everyone a gmail login or want to collaborate privately what to do? We’ll show you how to set up an etherpad on a machine..

Part 2: Glasgow should be a beacon of digital progress and not a laughing stock. Recent reports suggest the city as a local authority is looking at outsourcing its IT provision completely to CGI. What do you think of this and what would you want from the City’s IT? What should a Digital Glasgow look like? Contributions from the group will be collated on an etherpad create in Part 1.
