> Can we go over the security topic from a few meetings ago?
Sure, we can (also) go over that at today's BALUG meeting -
presuming folk(s) are interested.
I think I only made it about 1/3 or of the way through my security
materials on that earlier - that was the meeting from about
two months ago - 2017-05-15.
I do also have "slides" from that ... I should get those up fairly
soon too.

presenting his project and updates, including the location in Addis

ways in which we have been working together to bring the "Internet in
a Box" to the kids there.
Come by tomorrow (Saturday) and get it straight from him :-)

Have a BALUG wiki page for
(Computer) hardware (etc.) offered/wanted
https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:offered_wanted_hardware_e…
It has some basic "rules of the road/guidelines" (see towards the top
of the wiki page).
If you want to list something(s) on there ...
preferred would be you get a wiki account and add/edit it yourself.
You can email me to get that (self-registration on the wiki site
has been disabled to thwart annoying spambot abuse).
Anyway, this may be rather/quite useful, rather than merely putting a post
to some (Bay Area) LUG list of some, e.g. hardware offered or wanted,
and everyone forgets about it later, or can't remember what the status
is, etc., or where the posting was ... well, now have a wiki page.
"Of course" folks aren't mind readers, so good to also have at least some
posting somewhere to call potentially interested folks at least initial
attention to it. But ... status, is it still offered/wanted, who
mentioned it, how to contact them ... well, wiki page seemed more fitting
and logical - at least to track that, rather than (merely) list posting(s).
And if you can't get/use wiki account to edit wiki page, for some reason,
and you just want to email me the updates ... well, maybe I can do the
edits/updates - if all the relevant information is provided, and that
doesn't get too unreasonable. But I'm not one's edit slave, so ... we'll
see how that goes (volume of such requests vs. what (if any) time I have
for such matters).
