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".

Start thinking? Was it Curly Howard who said: "I'm trying, but nothing happens"? Actually, I thought the young dude sitting next to me, whose name I forget, semi-voluteered to talk about SIP and internet telephony. I hope he remembers and tells this list who he is and whether he is ready. > One area that's of interest to me with > young kids is educational programs that > work on linux.

This sounds right up my alley, but I'm not going to be able to attend. Are these sessions recorded by any chance?

Re: [Wlug] Topic for future meeting.

by John Stoffel

Brian> 2) Hacking NAS storage with the Kurobox (www.kurobox.com) An Brian> very interesting device with a sordid history This is an interesting box, but the big limit is the lack of dual (or more) disks, since if I build a home NAS box, it's going to have RAID for sure. I'm thinking one of those VIA Epia motherboards (1ghz, fan less) with a pair of big disks mirrored would be a good home NAS box, esp with a SCSI controller, my DLT tape drive and bacula. The only issue is Mysql performance on disks like this, since Bacula is heavy on the DB. Putting in four disks, two RAID1 sets, could work wonders. But gets a bit crazy. :] John
