SUMMARY:Ottawa PC Users' Group monthly meeting - Ask the geeks!
DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa PC Users’ Group will be hosting their monthly general meeting through video-conference. The topic for Wednesday\, May 13th is “Ask the geeks!” \nThis month’s meeting will take the form of a super-Q&A session. We will have a panel of self-proclaimed “geeks” (or are they “experts”?) available to answer all of your computer-related questions. At least. they will provide the answers provided that they have sufficient expertise! So\, that’s going to be the challenge. In contrast to our normal Q&A sessions\, we will not have a PowerPoint deck with prepared questions and answers. Instead\, we invite you to test our panel’s mettle with your real-time queries! So\, come to the meeting with your question readily at hand. If there are no questions\, it could be a very short meeting. On the other hand\, there could be some useful insights into the solutions to various issues\, and some very interesting discussions if our experts don’t actually agree on the answers! \nThis meeting will be via Zoom video conference. \nJoin us at https://tinyurl.com/opcug-meeting. The Zoom link will be live at 7:15 pm. The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm. \nGuests are welcome at OPCUG events. \nAlthough attendees don’t have to be computer experts\, basic computer literacy is assumed. \nhttps://opcug.ca/events/ask-the-geeks/
