January Meetings

The plan for January is as follows:

January 7th (Thursday) - IRC meeting in #bglug on irc.freenode.net

January 16th (Saturday) - F2F meeting at the Eagle Creek Library from 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm (most likely running over until 5pm, as we usually do). The main theme of this meeting is CMS's, including (but not limited to):

• Wordpress
• Drupal, and
• Joomla

If you're interested in presenting on any of these topics, or any other CMS alternative, feel free to stop by the IRC meeting this Thursday night and chat with either myself or etank. We've tentatively got presenters for each of these, but it wouldn't hurt to have options.

Thanks, and see you guys at the meetings!

Video From November Meeting

On November 21st, 2009, we had a discussion on command-line text editors for Linux/Unix. I (jkeyes0/Jordan) talked about Nano, Bill Dieter (wdieter) presented on emacs, and Rob Turner (crosscut) taught us about vi/vim.

Update (11/26 12:11pm): Bill's video is now available


Update (11/24 9:40pm): Rob's video is now available


Update: Presentation materials posted
Jordan's Nano Presentation (ODP)
Bill's Emacs Presentation (ODP)
Bill's Emacs Presentation (PDF)
Bill's Emacs Reference Card (PDF)
Rob's Vi Cheat Sheet (PDF)



We had an excellent turnout for this meeting, with 14 members showing up. At least 3-4 were new members, so this was their first meeting and we hope they return for future meetings.

We've been discussing it, and we think it would be best for all if we keep the meeting on December 19th, but make it a dinner gathering instead, so no real pressure for presentations. Join us on irc.freenode.net in #bglug (or click the Chat (applet) link on the right-hand side of the page and tell us what you'd like us to do for our December meeting.

Thanks!
