February 2018 Meetup - GUI/Terminal Vim

Vim near Valentine's Day? Sure, they both start with V, why not? On February 12, let us count the ways in which we love Vim. Much like January, we're a week off our normal schedule this month; this time we're avoiding President's Day.

If you don't get enough time during the Meetup to figure out a good Vim-related line to fit into "Roses Are Red", then anyone who's interested can head to the nearby Yum's Asian Bistro where we can continue the conversation.

Scheduled Talk(s):

• (Beginner) GUI Vim versus Terminal Vim - Jamal Bourne

Although Vim is a terminal-based editor, some people are just more comfortable with a graphical interface. But, it turns out you can have your cake and eat it too, as Vim has a graphical user interface as well. In this talk you'll learn the critical differences that you can expect when you switch between the GUI and terminal versions of Vim.

• (Beginner) A .vimrc Tour - Stephen Belcher

Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination... unfortunately. I've been threatening it for a long time, and now you'll all finally get to see what too much time editing my .vimrc has wrought.

Scheduled Beer: Peabody Heights Brewery "Thirstay", a 6% American Pale Ale. "A danktastic citrusy hop bomb in the new American Pale Ale family. 'Thirstay' is brewed with excessive amounts of Citra, Amarillo, and Galaxy; resulting in a hopped up Pale with notes of orange sherbet, papaya and resiny grapefruit dopeness."
