SNAP Your Apps
By Lee_Lammert
Avoid or Escape Dependency Hell
Snaps are self-contained applications running in a sandbox with mediated access to the host system. Snap was originally released for cloud applications but was later ported to work for Internet of Things devices and desktop applications too. (from Wikipidia)

MAIN feature:
gitso
By Stan_Reichardt
Gitso is to support others.
A simple frontend for reverse VNC connections (remote assistance). Gitso is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) graphical program to easily connect one person to another person's screen, keyboard and mouse. This makes it straight-forward to get help or give technical support.

In a simple two-step process, the person giving support first sets up port forwarding and firewalling on his end, if necessary, and starts Gitso to listen for incoming connections on port 5500. Then, the person looking for help uses Gitso to connect to the supporter's address (IP or domain name), making their screen remotely visible and allowing the supporter to use their keyboard and mouse.

Mtng expected to close by 9pm. The main presentation & its Q&A may last ~1~1.5 hrs +.

EVERY MTNG:
Meetings are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

We usually start the general meeting with our BASE introductory level session (often focused on personal computing), which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space.

7:00pm
Announcements & general Q&A.

Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period.

7:15pm (maybe a few mins earlier)
Main/Featured presentation.

After all that, we take a break before our MAIN event.
