I'm going to be participating in a number of Google Hangouts in the next
few months, and I am in search of a webcam that will work with my Kubuntu
14.04 system. I have a Logitech (the model number is lost), but it won't
even grab a picture in Kamerka or Cheese.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've used a notebook version of a Logitech QuickCam Pro for a while,  
through a couple of Ubuntu editions up to my current v14.04.  I wasn't  
able to get things working in Cheese, but I think that's due to a  
configuration issue.  Haven't tried Kamerka.  The unit was  
automatically available in Hangouts and Skype.

I didn't see it in the webcams section when I went to logitech's site  
- but I assume they sell something similar.

I recently got a Lotitech C920 working that has h.264 compression. It's
an HD webcam.

I suggest logotech brand, but make sure the resolution is above qvga or it
will look like crap.

When: Tuesday July 14th 6:30 pm - 7:30pm
Where: Davis Public Library
What: DavisGIG - Municipal Fiber Options Community Meeting
BY: DavisGIG and Davis Community Network (DCN)
Cost: Free, donations accepted

DavisGIG, a community group within town, is advocating for a 
municipal-owned, fiber-optic telecommunications network for Davis.
Come find out more about it and our efforts to get this done for Davis.

We are presenting two speakers.

Robert Nickerson "Municipal Fiber Optic for Davis"

We will explore what fiber optic Internet means, and why a 
community-owned fiber build is the best approach for Davis.

Robert Nickerson, is an Inter-nut, who has worked providing Internet 
Access, locally, since 1996. He is one of the owners of Omsoft, and very 
involved with DavisGIG(www.davisgig.org),  DCN (www.dcn.org) and Davis 
Makerspace (www.davismakerspace.org)

Oliver Kreylos, Ph.d "Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Telepresence"

These terms, you have no doubt heard of, are the next generation of 
human computer interface. They are being deployed to mass market in 
2016,  and you might know some of the more popular products such as 
OculusVR, Microsoft HoloLens or Google Glass. A roaring-fast fiber-optic 
network is needed in Davis to create the necessary platform to utilize 
this new technology.

Dr. Kreylos has been working as a researcher, developer and inventor in 
the field of Computer Visualization.  He has been a Project Scientist 
with the UCD, Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization for over 12 
years.

Looks really cool..  folks I hugely admire like Bruce Schneier  & Mike Masnick .. and an emcee will be Cory Doctorow! (Had to browse to dnalounge.com to learn that.  I was looking for price info..)
Too bad I'm so blasted broke that even the mincon-only pricetag added onto a Megabus ticket or such, is beyond my reach.
	$25 Minicon Only;
	$40 Party Only;
	$45 Mincon and Party EFF members;
	$50 Minicon and Party non-members.



Damn shame, too--  me & a buddy won a couple programming contests back in grade school, & reading this reminded me of them good ol days:


	Capture The Flag
	Throughout the minicon, we will be hosting our first ever "Capture the Flag" hacking contest! Anyone present at the minicon will be eligible to participate in our 4 hour contest. The challenges will include web hacking, binary analysis, cryptography challenges, and more. Top competitors will receive special prizes! Participants should bring a laptop with linux or a virtual machine installed.
	Space in the CTF is limited so please pre-register by sending an email with your team name and number of participants to ctf at eff.org.



In Liberty,
  Mark
