April WLUG meeting to be online

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. While Linux doesn't need virus protection, we do. Wash your hands you filthy animals. As the subject reads, we're going to be doing the WLUG meeting online. I've been active in the wlug-ma irc channel as have others. What do people think about Jitsi for doing a video meetup? Refreshments will not be provided and we won't be going out for dinner!! Stay home, stay safe and I hope we'll all get to see each other soon. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I'm convinced they've writing a piece of perl that simply goes through their documentation and when it finds a three letter word simply uppercase's it.

Re: IT Revolution: Spring Reads Free eBook Promotion!

Where I've used it is in teaching people who've never done any type of SCM as a group how to structure a project and how the branch / merge model should work and how to resolve merge conflicts, etc. I can't say I've read it cover to cover, but I've read chapters and used it as a reference a whole lot. There's another excellent book that costs nothing on amazon called "Ry's Git" which is a really thin to the point book about git. However, he's got a great chapter on the inner workings of git which I found both fascinating and educational. I still feel bad for the monotone guy...
