Monthly Linux Meetup (also covering Open Source, UNIX and UNIX-Like Systems)

Monthly Linux Meetup on Tuesday, 18 February 2020, from 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM.

Long time FLUX member Kwan Lowe will be making two presentations:

The first is on Flatpak and Snappy, which are two ways of packaging
an application, and all the files it depends on, into a single
file, such that the application has everything it needs to run,
but cannot access the surrounding operating system's file system.
This protects the surrounding operating system in case something
with the application goes wrong. Think "virtual machine light"
or "container heavy".

The second is an overview of GNU Octave which is software featuring
a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. Octave helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems
numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments, and is
a standard, along with the commercial MATLAB program, in
engineering and the sciences.

At NSU's College of Engineering and Computing,
Carl DeSantis Bldg, Room 1124, "Knight Auditorium", Ground Floor

Pizza and soda will be provided.

6:30 PM to 7:00 PM - Pizza and social
