The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
OpenCart
Want to sell something on the net? This month Brad Vokey will be presenting on OpenCart -- a powerful open source shopping cart system that is feature rich and user friendly.
OpenCart is a robust e-commerce solution for internet merchants to create their own online business and participate in e-commerce at minimal cost. It includes an intuitive admin interface that allows you to have complete control over your store. It also has thousands of high end themes available and integrates with hundreds of payment gateways and shipping integrations.
There is also a thriving OpenCart extension market with over 12,000 extensions currently written for it (and more being added all the time). If there is something you need your store to do, there is probably an extension already written for it. If there isn't, or if you don't like the price someone is charging for their extension, you can simply add the code yourself, add it to the OpenCart store, and maybe make a little money selling your extension to others.
For this month's RTFM, Michael Doob will talk about PDFtk -- A handy tool for manipulating PDF.
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.
