Greetings fellow WPUGer's,
Linux was brand new when I first heard of it way back in 1993. I didn't try it though until 1997. My Windows 95 box kept crashing and corrupting my hard drive. I installed Mandrake in 1997. I switched to Ubuntu in 2005. As a member of our board I would like to work with other board members to find ways to expand WPLUG's exposure in S.W.P.A. Perhaps through links to local search engines and or neighborhood newsletters when we have a meeting in an area. I hope I can count on your support. See you all on Saturday November 13th at the Panera Bread in Mt. Lebanon!

Speaker/Presentation
Robert Blackwell will be speaking about the Arduino, a microcontroller-based embedded device which can be interfaced with a number of sensors and controllers. He'll talk about communicating with the Arduino, as well as programming the device itself.
Objective-C is the principal language for programming Macs and iPhones. You can use Objective-C on Linux and Windows too. Mark Dalrymple, principal author of Learn Objective-C on the Mac, will talk about the language and programming patterns.
