Prez says for December 2025
Welcome to December, the month of Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, maybe snow, and lots of shopping! What tech items are you hoping to receive this holiday season?
On December 2nd, we will have our Tech Corner and General Meeting via Zoom only. Our General Meeting program will be "Custom Text Tones for your Smartphone" presented by John Kraut. When you receive a text, wouldn't it be great if your phone could announce the sender's name before you even glance at it? Then, you can quickly decide whether or not to interrupt what you are doing to read the text.
Learn how to use your smartphone to record the name of a text sender, install that recording on your smartphone, and assign that recording to the text sender. Additionally, learn how to set your default text tone to Silent (Android) or None (iPhone) so that junk text and low-priority messages are not brought to your immediate attention. Please join us for this interesting presentation.
Do you have questions about one of your computer devices or software? Join us via Zoom at 6:00 PM on December 2nd for our Technology Corner. Topics for the December Tech Corner are: Choosing a Web Browser, Windows Sandbox, etc.
If you want to learn more about Linux, visit our Linux Special Interest Group hybrid meeting (in-person plus Zoom) starting at 6:30 PM on December 9th at the North Bellevue Community Center. The Linux Group also has a build-your-own server project Zoom meeting at 7:00 PM on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of December.
The Digital Imaging SIG will not meet in December. January’s theme will be Favorite Activities. Don’t forget Smartphone Snapshots and Today’s Find.

We need a local volunteer to join the Board and assist Bob with the Treasurer’s duties.
To prepare for an Auction next year, we need a covered space to sort and store donated items. Do you know of a garage space we could rent for one day only on the first Saturday of June, 2026?
We welcome visitors! Please encourage your friends to join KEGS, the Linux SIG, and the Digital imaging SIG.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
