  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here!

Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year.

    Running Linux and which version in order to run WINE or some other WIN-7..WIN-10 option.

    Maybe you prefer to keep it all on one device? I like to keep them separated. Buy a used laptop for $200 and have one device for Linux and the other for Windows.

    Fixing a solid rubber tire

    No offense taken. Just heard from him regarding the scooter - first trip to work and the tire repair held 100%. Interesting on 2 fronts - the repair held up and will this delay him getting the replacement tire?:)

    Fixing a solid rubber tire

    The doneness is 100% agreed upon by all involved parties. But I was asked to try and make a temporary "get me by until..." repair. The individual realizes I ain't promising nuthin' with regards to how well the repair will work. Nonetheless, I am super curious to see how well the adhesive...
