Termux - Unlock the power of the terminal on Android!

This month's talk is brought to you by JB

Unlock the power of the terminal on Android via Termux!

Learn how your phone/tablet can be used as a full programming environment (editor, compilers, git...), back-up your phone to your computer over Wifi using standard UNIX tools, and create customized scripts that interact with Android's native menus and file-sharing capabilities.

The talk targets both beginners, for whom Termux is an easy way into the Linux command-line world; and advanced users, who can use Termux to configure (break) their systems in more creative ways.

About the speaker:

JB is a developer spending way too much time in the terminal
already, and found out one day that his phone has one too.

Meeting at 7pm, for a tentative talk start at 7:15pm

If you have never been to one of these meetings, just know that it's friendly and informal - grab a pint or a soda, come ask questions, get help with open source software and Linux, and enjoy some geeky company!

There is often a Linux laptop on hand for a quick show and tell for anyone who is curious, and you can also bring your own laptop to troubleshoot Linux, or try Linux on your own laptop - without installing it.
