The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, June 11. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
LyX, Meld, Asymptote
This month, we have three presenters giving short (5-10 minute)
demonstrations of some software that they have found
interesting. Adam Thompson will demonstrate LyX, a WYSIVRTWYG
(What You See Is Vaguely Related To What You Get) document
creation and editing front-end for TeX and LaTeX. Trevor Cordes
will demonstrate Meld, a graphical diff viewer that's designed
for those of us who will never be comfortable with text-based
diff output syntax. And finally, Michael Doob will demonstrate
Asymptote, a markup language for producing high-quality
graphics, which, like TeX, separates the concepts of markup
from presentation, allowing graphics to be drawn with very high
precision.
The June RTFM will feature Gilbert Detillieux talking about the
dpkg(1), apt-get(8), apt-cache(8) and aptitude(8) commands,
used for package management in Debian and similar Linux
distributions.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
