@Jacqueline Hyde The current group (no offense to anyone) does admittedly limit who might be able to "attend", but if it's in advance enough, maybe more will attend, and if it's a regular-ish thing, maybe more will attend.

@Tenchi Masaki Unfortunately, trying to get everyone on the same page is impossible as it stands now... an Office '13 file will open in OpenOffice, but will probably be missing some formatting... same the other way around. And, that's the problem... each piece of software has it's own way of handling things, and people want to just be able to do a thing (open a file without dinking around, or having to convert it) in the minimum time possible. Nobody wants to have to learn a whole programming language just to open a Resume file and have it turn out right (Windows to *Nix)... they just want it to work, and until it "just works", open source won't be embraced.

@Jon Eckart nope, that one V hosted is the only one we've had since like june

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

I see. And on a scale of one to the Louvre, how would you rank their security systems? Asking for purely hypothetical reasons, of course.

No idea honestly. The MFA and Gardner must have pretty tight security. The PEM probably not as much, but I also don't think it has as much monetarily valuable art.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

That being said, the Gardner was the site of the biggest art theft in history, also the biggest unsolved crime in history: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft - Wikipedia

Ah, yes, I have read about that. A fascinating heist. I expect the trail has long gone cold, but we must not lose hope.

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

Good morning guys!
