I use Jitsi Meet twice a month for online Linux group meetings.
Are these groups public?

One group is Boston Linux and Unix, their online meetings are the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM (U.S.) EST or 23:30 UTC. The monthly meeting information is on their home page.
The other group is Natick FOSS, their online meetings are on the first Thursday at 3:00 PM (U.S.) EST or 20:00 UTC (except for January, July and September, when they are on the second Thursday of those months). The group leader indicated he has friends in France and Germany and I have attended their Jitsi meetings where there has been an attendee from France. Their meetings open at 2:45 PM (U.S.) EST or 19:45 UTC for one-on-one, fine-tuning, etc. If you click the link for FOSS User Group Archive, it has information on the meetings and Jitsi URL for them.
On Sunday March 12, most of the U.S. turns the clocks ahead one hour, when we will be back on Daylight Saving Time. At that time, as EDT here, this time zone will then be -04:00 from UTC.

Currently I have the problem with the Debian open source driver for the NVIDIA graphics card 'GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB' in an older laptop.
I tried to install the probietary driver in Debian, but I shot up the system.
Somehow I can not do it that way.I know that NVIDIA and Linux is a problem.
The card is otherwise quite good.I recently tried to use a PCI-Express x1 video card with an NVIDIA GT-710 on it, but Debian would not boot up into a graphical interface. Once I went into terminal mode, I found a message that the X server reported 'no screens found'.
I think the card should have otherwise worked as is with nouveau, but I read that some of the more-recent video cards only work with UEFI systems, not BIOS. This could be the case with that card, as well as the card you tried to use.

I would like to bring this topic up again.There could also be an extra group for this on the Open Source Messenger [Matrix].
Perhaps there is also interest here.
Are the dates for the Linux groups still up to date?
-
@ingolftopf The groups still meet online each month, but both prefer to use Jitsi Meet.

Perhaps a co-operation could be formed.
If the different times make it possible.
