-Discussion welcome. Pre-meeting questions on the linux-ottawa mailing list (linux@linux-ottawa.org)
-would be helpful.
-Meeting Details:
-The meeting URL and code words will be emailed around 18:30 so there is a potential for some social time prior to getting started.
-Rules/Procedures/Common-Sense:
-Similar to last time, your output video and audio will be disabled when you join. In order to make sure the experience is a reasonable one for all involved, the presenter will share their screen-window-whatever they are comfortable with and you will see it quite clearly. Rather than unmute, pressing your space bar is supposed to unmute your microphone while pressed, so you can try that to ask questions. There is also the chat window, but when it is active it obscures part of the screen. Feel free to post questions and as opportunity presents itself and the presenter notices, they will get answered. After the presentation is completed, feel free to unmute and have a normal voice/video Q&A.

+__Topics__
-[[agenda_20200507|May 7, 2020]]
+  - Scott Murphy will give a talk/demonstration of using a greaseweazel for floppy data recovery.
+    - We had a somewhat recent list discussion on recovering data from floppy disks that realistically do not have current support or hardware.
+    - The talk will be an absolute beginner's attempt to recover some of that data and by "beginner's attempt", it means I have not previously attempted to read "foreign" diskettes from 40+ years ago, so this is a brand new thing for me to try.
+  - John Nash has a short talk on the annual burden of tax filing, PDFs, and using pdftk. A usual, there are unanticipated challenges with even what appears to be the simplest of things.
+  - JF Messier may have an item to discuss as well. Assuming we have not run out the clock at this point.
