Tickets for the next Raspberry Pi jam in Paignton can be obtained from

http://www.dcglug.org.uk/torbay-pi-jam/ and following the link for tickets.

Hope to see lots of people at the event.

In response to the threat of terrorism David Cameron is proposing to ban end to end encryption,  ref http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=17822 for reactions to this.  This also stirred up quite a debate on the DCGLUG mailing list.

Next Saturday, 17th, is the third of the month so it is time for our
Linux meeting at the White Hart, 2 pm as usual.

The Times Educational Supplement is to use creative commons licensing for resources

more information here

A step in the right direction and shows how much power people have by campaigning for this to happen. .

Please could DCGLUG members share this so that the event gets really good promotion.

I have added a lot of new content under the resources section,  mainly more tutorials for mint but also some under the command line section.

I have also added a page on Diaspora,  which is essentially the information from the thunderclap which ended on the 2nd Jan but I have just included the information directly relating to Diaspora.

Applicable to : Xubuntu 14.04 and others

How to change the program that opens a file type. e.g a text file.

Go to settings manager which should be on the menu or an icon on the panel

Select MIME Type Editor

You then see the following

If you click the program name in the far right column, then you should get a list of options as to which program is used to edit that file type.

Changes seem to be immediate so closing the window should mean the changes take effect.

The raspberry pi foundation are offering a chance to have your code sent in to space on 2 raspberry pi’s which will form part of science experiments on board the International Space station.  This will be open to all primary and secondary school aged children who are resident in the United Kingdom.
