PLEASE NOTE: earlier time for this meeting. There is another group who will be using the room at 10:45a.

AI is not just for the big guys any longer. It is possible to run an Artificial Intelligence program on your Pi 4 or Pi 5. In this presentation, we’ll learn about how to run an several AI models on the Pi, the advantages and disadvantages of each.

We’ll open the floor to ask the AI questions (via a web interface on the local network), so bring a laptop, all over IPv6!

This is a Hybrid meeting (in-person and on Jitsi).

Sat. Oct. 14, 2023 – IPv6 and Installing Galene, an Open Source video conf app (Hybrid)

I have been playing with Galene for over a year. And have been using it on a weekly basis to do video conferencing with some friends in Ottawa. It is much easier to install than Jitsi, but lacks some of the finer points of jitsi.

Still, you can install and run it on a Raspberry Pi (even a 3b+ !). In this presentation, I’ll show how easy it is to install on a Pi, and you can run your own personal video conferencing server.

Craig’s presentation is here: http://www.makikiweb.com/Pi/galene_installing.html
