Re: Get Repair Help at Home through Virtual Fixit Clinics

[tom r lopes <tomrlopes@gmail.com>]

I click the link and the first virtual Fixit is "Lund/Malmö Sweden"  

What I don't understand is if it is global why is a location specified?  Is that 

just the sponsor or Zoom account holder?  

Because I only speak and understand english (actually maybe understand a little Portugese and Spanish)

Yes, we're holding Virtual (and Global!) Community Repair Events via Zoom: anyone can participate in Virtual Fixit Clinics so please encourage your friends and neighbors to sign up with things to fix at http://bit.ly/fixitcheckin (And remember: we can look at large things like dishwashers, TVs and furniture now.)

All BerkeleyLUG Members are invited are heartily invited to participate, either to help fix or just observe, learn and cross-train: we're actually scheduled to have a Linux problem Saturday: 

Laptop System 76 (Rebranded Cleavo) Oryx Pro 2018 I would like to recover the Thunderbird mail folder for a failed Debian Installation. Yes, and I can't find the Thunderbird folders.

Also: external hard drive Seagate NA960X63 2015 Mac doesn't recognize when drive is attached. Drive makes clicking sound but doesn't connect.

BerkeleyLUG Members should sign up well in advance at http://bit.ly/fixitcoachsignup to get the Zoom link via email.

Hope to see you there, -Peter

Hi Fixit Fans:

Want to try fixing something from home? We've been holding Virtual Fixit Clinics via Zoom;

we've had five so far and they've been splendid.

Show your broken item to a global assembly of expert Fixit Coaches and get suggestions

for things to try.
After all items are presented we assign items/participants and repairers to Zoom breakout

rooms to implement the suggestions and, hopefully, fix the items.

Sign up with things to fix at http://bit.ly/fixitcheckin and please encourage your family,

friends and neighbors to sign up too. (And remember: we can look at large things like

dishwashers, TVs and furniture now.)

Hope to see you at an upcoming Fixit Clinic (virtually, that is!)

Cheers, -Peter
