Hey guys, I'm Nacho, the Spanish guy who did Puppy Linux... Long time no write, I've been busy with everyday life stuff, trying to get along...?Here is an idea I put on the table in case it could create some interest, although I don't know if it belongs in the?idiosyncrasy of the LUG meetings.
Maybe it could be interesting to try a more structured approach some time, perhaps booking a meeting room for a couple of hours, where everybody who feels like it could present something Linux related they want (a pet project of them, a demo of some program...). I know I would like to see something like that.
The "mingle" meetings in the Knight's Templar are great fun, but the fact that they are atomized into tables makes you always lose part of the action. In addition, the place is noisy, which makes communication a bit hard, especially when English is not your first language, as in my case.?As a bonus, meetings room offer non-spamified wifi, sometimes screen projectors... Maybe it could be nice to start a bit earlier, with this structured part, and then moving to the usual jam at the Templars... armed with as many laptops as we can carry, as usual :)
Anyways, I don't know if this is a happy idea or not, let me know what you think; (maybe, even, the idea is not new and it's something you've tried before?)

I am sure this is trivial but I am stuck....

A couple of days ago a LibreOffice spreadsheet developed a pair of
grey(? I am colour blind) lines, one horizonal and one vertical. I
think this is some kind of subwindow as sometimes when moving up or
down a column whole lines disappear or reappear.

No idea how this happened nor what it is called so the Help is not
useful at all. How do I restore a simple single sheet?

Not sure I have described this well. Running on OenSuse213.2 with
LibreOffice 4.3.6.2

Hi Alex,

Looks to me like your hardware already has an ethernet MAC and
a microcontroller. Is this correct?
If so, can you tell us which microcontroller and MAC hardware it is?
Not everybody knows about all the possible hardware choices, assembler
languages and chip specifics.

Cheers,
Martin
