[nmglug] Mtg. Tonight

[art at pin2.io]

Hi Ted & All -

Talked with Mark, it looks like Friday, April 16th will be a good date to go over Pandoc/Markdown/documentation formats (unless you were really thinking Thursday the 15th, Mark). My grand plan is to have a set of little 15-minute demos of FOSS software I’ve found helpful, and set those around the half-hour mark (6pm). So tentatively with re-phasing we	 would have something like:

• April 1: Replace Excel with RStudio
• April 16: Write documents in Pandoc Markdown, exploring documentation formats
• April 22: Make a website in Markdown with Static Site Generators like Hugo
• May 6: Make a website with Gemini/Gemtext
• May 20: Replace Word with Overleaf/Latex
• June 3: Replace Powerpoint with Overleaf/Latex/Beamer/Metropolis
• June 17: Alternate shells: Fish shell & object shells
• July 1: Keep track of RLY BIG files with Git-Annex

We can move/replace/drop stuff based on interest.

Cheers,
-Art

Art and Mark, can you two set dates for April that do the phase shift and allow Mark to attend both of Art's next two presentations? We can use next week's session on the 25th for our usual random discussions of Gnu/Linux news and our own issues and preferences.

Please respond either to make an alternate suggestion or correct this one so we can move forward. Thank you, Ted P, Santa Fe
