Penguins and coffee

Today’s Charleston Linux User Group meeting was held at the new Coastal Coffee Roasters in Summerville.

Brad’s roasting operation is in full gear and during the meeting we got to sample his iced coffee. It’s not just regular brewed coffee poured over ice. It’s a cold brew process that results in a remarkably tasty, non-bitter refreshing cold drink perfect for these hot summer days.

Today’s meeting covered the latest happenings with Summer PyGames, an update from the recent Southeast Linuxfest, a demo of a machine planned for use as a server for a new community computer lab, the new Makelab Charleston and various other miscellaneous topics.

After the meeting wrapped up, Brad gave us a tour of the roasting operation.
