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.
