[Taslug] Hobart Thursday 18th May Meeting - Taking the LEDE on Domestic Routers

[Scott Bragg]

Hi LUGers!

This month we will be meeting at Kickstart Arts in Newtown again. Check 
the signage out front as to which room we are in.

This month we have our venerable TasLUG member Peter Lawler speaking 
LEDE which is an active fork of OpenWRT. With many of us thinking of an 
upgrade to our home routers to take advantage of higher speed WiFi and 
broadband, there's no better time to put some open source on your 
gateway to the Interwebs. There is also be some time for a lightning 
talk or two if you have something you want to discuss or demo.

We'll get in some Pizza from Pizzarazzi and there will be tea and coffee 
available but you can also bring along a refreshment.

When: Open at 6pm for 6:30pm start/pizza order Thursday 18th May 2017
