"Hi all, some friends and I host a little casual open source meetup at a bar in Brookline (Hamilton). We meet once a month on Sunday evenings, including this Sunday at 6. All are welcome! Please see https://bostonopen.dev "
Philip Durbin (Oct 25 2024 at 21:13):So far one reply: "Sounds fun, I will try to make it."
Philip Durbin (Nov 15 2024 at 12:57):They're meeting tonight at Grendel's. I just RSVP'ed: https://www.meetup.com/desktop-linux-users-group/events/304537564
Philip Durbin (Nov 15 2024 at 22:42):Heading over now
Philip Durbin (Nov 16 2024 at 15:39):It was a good time! I think @Sooraj Sathyanarayanan can agree. There were at least 10 people there.
Philip Durbin (Nov 16 2024 at 15:39):It looks like their next meetup is Friday, Dec. 6: https://www.meetup.com/desktop-linux-users-group/events/304537571/
Sooraj Sathyanarayanan (Nov 16 2024 at 15:40):I joined their Signal group - if you would like to join us there?
Philip Durbin (Nov 16 2024 at 15:42):Meh, I have enough communication apps on my phone already, but thanks. :grinning:
Sooraj Sathyanarayanan (Nov 16 2024 at 15:52):My quest to bring Phil on Signal continues…
:saluting_face:
Philip Durbin (Nov 16 2024 at 16:25):Ha. I used it for a couple years. I'm off and on with WhatApp, installing it when I'm in places where it's heavily used. Sometimes for conferences. I just don't like all these extra apps on my phone.
Dan (Dec 05 2024 at 18:20):I decided I'll come down for this on Friday. I'll come down for our meeting on Sunday as well, I just feel more up for coming to Boston this week.
Philip Durbin (Dec 05 2024 at 22:56):Oh, nice. I'm thinking about coming too.

Philip Durbin (Dec 08 2024 at 16:01):Thanks!
Philip Durbin (Dec 08 2024 at 16:02):It was a good time. Bummer I had to leave early but my family and I did have a good time at the MFA. We saw this: https://www.mfa.org/exhibition/georgia-okeeffe-and-henry-moore
Philip Durbin (Dec 30 2024 at 15:16):Another meetup on the 3rd: https://www.meetup.com/desktop-linux-users-group/events/305160260/
Dan (Dec 30 2024 at 17:34):I will likely be there.
Andrea (Dec 31 2024 at 18:41):Just wondering, is it mainly a meetup about Internet in a Box?
Dan (Dec 31 2024 at 21:50):No the description on meetup is a little odd. But at least a couple people at the event are involved with Internet in a Box, including the main guy. It's a more activist flavoured group overall.
Dan (Dec 31 2024 at 21:54):But I found them to be very friendly.
Dan (Dec 31 2024 at 21:55):It's still open ended like our meetup.
Philip Durbin (Dec 31 2024 at 22:57):It was nice! Friendly folks hanging out in a bar. :beers:
Philip Durbin (Mar 21 2025 at 19:26):I'm planing on going to this tonight. Here's the link: https://www.meetup.com/desktop-linux-users-group/events/305868023/
Philip Durbin (Mar 22 2025 at 02:13):Good times. Nice people.
Philip Durbin (May 17 2025 at 12:57):I attended their event the other day. The recorded it: https://archive.org/details/privacy-panopticons
