WSU Formal Presentation

WiFi Roomba : an unholy monstrosity!

Topics to include:

Roomba Dissection
iRobot's Serial Command Interface
Hardware mods on a Motorola WR850G
Advanced software mods for OpenWrt

Gadgetman has been a computer/technology hobbyist since he was 7 years old, and his father brought home a Commodore VIC20. He is employed by NCR inc. (formerly National Cash Registers) where he provides field support for a wide variety of point-of-sale equipment, electrostatic printing systems, commercial-grade servers, and network infrastructure products.
When he could no longer stand the various abuses windows forced upon its users, he turned to Linux, and has never looked back.

Who are we?

The Tri-City Linux User Group 3CLUG is an informal group of computer enthusiasts interested in using the Linux operating system on their computers at home, school and business.

Our Meeting Schedule

We meet twice each month.

On the 2nd Saturday of each month, if we have a planned presentation, we meet at the WSU Tri-Cities Campus, in room West 252 at 1:00pm. This is a "formal" (and we use the term loosely) session where you can bring in your box for installations, demos, and tutorials. We offer talks by various members and guests on various aspects of Linux and Linux applications.

If there is no planned presentation, then we get together at the same Round Table Pizza, in Kennewick, as we do on the 4th Saturday.

On the 4th Saturday of every month at 1 pm we get together for an informal chit-chat and general "shoot the breeze" session. We meet at Round Table Pizza in Kennewick (3300 W Clearwater Ave).

Topics range from newbie install and how-to to setting up a network.
