From Ballarat Linux Users Group

Jump to: navigation, search

Hi Everyone,

The next meeting of the Ballarat Linux Users Group (BLUG) is to be held on Tuesday (11th) of August. This is in keeping with our regular '2nd Tuesday of the month' schedule.

Please remember, if you have something you would like to talk about, even if you're not sure its worthy of a full time slot, I'd love to hear from you! LUGs, particularly those in a community as small as Ballarat, require active participation to survive and talks are one of the best ways you can contribute.

This months talk will be given by Duncan Macneil and is titled 'Linux Audio - Pulse/OSS/ALSA/JACK and what it means to actually make good recordings on a normal soundcard'
