For our 2009-11-17 BALUG meeting, we're excited to present: 2009-11-17 Mark Terranova on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala[1] Mark Terranova will be giving a talk about what is new in Ubuntu[2]'s newest release - Karmic Koala. He will also speak some about his experiences with Local tech stuff. Mark Terranova is a "West Coast Community-Developed-Software guy". Mark has regularly taught many types of computer classes specializing in the benefits of Linux and Cross-Platform Software. He has been involved with spreading Ubuntu for a while. He has helped organize Ubuntu Release Parties and other tech events that make it fun - using beer, BBQ, and other ways to create a fun community. He has spent much time in Portland, Oregon working with FreeGeek.org[3]. Their unique style helped him learn how to involve more people in computing. This knowledge has helped him in his role as co-founder of Gidget Kitchen[4] (GK). "Gidget Kitchen donates computers, generally using Ubuntu, to groups and individuals." GK strives to make modern technology simple, empowering, and easy for everyone to understand. The only requirement is "the ability to play well with others." Mark blames his interest in technical things and electronics on his father Michael. "He gave me a Commodore 64 and helped me get my amateur radio license (N6TBD) at an early age". 1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/TechnicalOverview 2. http://www.ubuntu.com/ 3. http://www.freegeek.org/ 4. http://www.gidgetkitchen.org/ So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and they help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

In the case of scuttle, despite the PHP nonsense, I was at least able to create a bookmark. But I at once saw that it doesn't do what I desperately need, anyway: it doesn't allow me to search for multiple tags, so the tags are just another form of tree hierarchy. In the case of getboo, I don't even get that far: I can create a bookmark but not modify it with tags, apparently due to database errors. (It also won't even let me _try_ to tag unless i make the bookmark public.) If you can share your vi bookmark macros, I think I'm ready to try them. :-P -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Ham is for reading, not for eating.
