Wlug Meeting Oct 13th @7PM: Topic: Fotoxx, Speaker: Dick Miller, Location: WPI Mid Century Room.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! Date/Time: Oct 13th 2022, 7PM-??PM Physical Location: WPI Mid Century Room (rm 321) Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Speaker: Dick Miller Dick Miller is going to be speaking about Fotoxx! https://kornelix.net/fotoxx/fotoxx.html From the webpage: Navigate a large image collection using a thumbnail browser, click on an image to view or edit. A rich set of edit and retouch functions is available. Import RAW files and edit with deep color. Save revised images as JPEG, PNG (8/16 bits/color), or TIFF (8/16). Select an object or area within an image (freehand draw, follow edges, flood matching tones...), apply edit functions, copy and paste, resize, blend, warp, etc. without using layers. Edit functions have fast feedback using the full image or selected zoom-in area. Edit image metadata (tags, geotags, dates, ratings, captions...). Search images using any combination of metadata and file and folder names or partial names. Click a marker on a scalable world map to view all photos from that location. Batch functions are available to rename, add/revise metadata, copy/move, resize, convert format. Fotoxx uses your image files wherever they are and maintains a separate index for fast searching. Fotoxx is standards compliant and can be used with other photo programs (no lock-in). Fotoxx is easy to use but unconventional, so read the user guide (at least the first few pages) before jumping in. Fotoxx has deep functionality. Do not expect to master it in a few minutes. Along with the presentation, as usual expect the usual amount of banter about all things Linux/FOSS/etc. Snacks and Refreshments will be provided and we'll head off to have dinner afterwards to continue the conversation. I hope to see you there! Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

What have they done to my internet! I tried to read that, but all I could see was flashing rectangles of over-saturated colors. I'd better get a beer and calm down. -- Keith

There seems to be some difference of opinion on the true "birth date", but that just gives us three days to have a beer! https://linuxiac.com/linux-birthday/ md On Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at 3:38 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Today in 1991 a college kid at the university of Helsinki went and without > even realizing it changed the world. > > Later, > Tim. > > -- > I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their > constituents as "consumers". > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/VXN62… >

Happy Birthday Linux!

by Tim Keller

Today in 1991 a college kid at the university of Helsinki went and without even realizing it changed the world. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
