Linux / FOSS Meetup Linz #1 | January 18th | Grand Garage

We are thrilled to announce our first ever meetup!! It will be held on January 18th. We'd love to have you join and contribute in building a vibrant community around Linux and everything open source. For this first meetup, we have two talks by amazing people, food, an awesome location and plenty of like-minded people to talk with.

:: TALKS ::
: Automatic Backups using Borgmatic - Robert Führicht :
Let's be real: you probably don't backup your system. Even if you do, the backups might consume too much space because unnecessary files are included.
Borgbackup solves this issue and helps you automatically back up your important files. In this talk, we'll get to know the Borg-Suite and learn how we can prevent fatal data loss with the power of ✨Open Source✨

In short: dead simple backup with borgmatic or: Y U NO BACKUP?

: Episode VIM - Return of the editor - Daniel Knittl-Frank :
A great text editor needs to do more than just typing. Fortunately, Vim offers a plethora of powerful gimmicks at your fingertips. Start with Vim today! This talk covers the basics of Vim, including modes, motions, registers, and a little bit of macros.
