July 2009 : Show and Tell

With the abscence of a speaker/presentation we went for a ’show and tell’ session with people spending roughly 5-10 mins showing the rest of us something good!

We:

• saw an accounting/VAT reporting application that one of us is building..

• Learnt how to  compile our own custom kernel…

• Discovered a music notation graphical user interface that makes working with Lillypond more fun…

• Saw a demo of one members custom Linux distribution…

• Found out how you would go about getting the information in a photograph of a poster directly onto your calendar (without typing!)…

• Had a look at Places to Go, Things to do for young people…

• Debated the issues around news that Microsoft have contributed to theLinux Kernel…

We also had birthday cake.

I thought it was a really good format, and one we should come back to - maybe not every meeting (part of it’s charm was the fact that it was different IMHO)
