MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Sept 3, 7:30pm (In-person/Hybrid Meeting) -- lighttpd & Sublime Text
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, September 3rd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Fly light!, plus Sublime Text Kevin McGregor will provide a gentle introduction to the lighttpd web server. "lighttpd (pronounced lighty) is a secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible web server that has been optimized for high-performance environments. lighttpd uses memory and CPU efficiently and has lower resource use than other popular web servers. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and much more) make lighttpd the perfect web server for all systems, small and large." For our mini-presentation of a "desktop app," Brad Vokey will do a quick demonstration of his favourite GUI text editor: Sublime Text - "Text Editing Done Right." Sublime Text is a fast, mature, light weight, beautiful, customizable, expandable, cross-platform, "shareware" text editor. Brad has previously written about Sublime Text in the MUUG 2021-06 newsletter (page 5), and he will now give us a quick intro into some of it's features. Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 We have a new in-person meeting location now!
