BASE/tutorial:

## LibreOffice Database **Demo**

## by: Stan Reichardt

Stan was planning, next up, to do a tutorial on the open source, cross platform [LibreOffice BASE](https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/base/) ( a desktop database front end ). It works with widely employed multi-user database engines: MySQL/MariaDB, Adabas D, MS Access and PostgreSQL. By default it uses an embedded [HSQLDB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSQLDB) ( Hyper SQL Database ) relational database.
Well, that was the original plan. Then, Stan ran across a 30 minute [video ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhRJFgDG-5o)that clearly gave a much better, much clearer, more complete, more concise and professional tutorial than he could ever hope to give.
What to do? Well, what then came to mind was to actually demonstrate using the two database tools that he had developed for SLUUG. Showing the flexibility, power and simplicity of these two in action could actually show **why** someone might want to explore using LibreOffice BASE.

MAIN:

**Future of OpenSuSE** LEAP Linux
by: Lee Lammert
There are a lot of Linux distros, .. but there is only ONE that meets the following criteria (it's also what we use here):

* \* Largest independent Linux distro - pure Open Source as well as commercial side to support corporate environments
* \* Adheres to and provides a huge amount of development to mainstream FOSS projects (and may not so mainstream)
* \* That development commitment has produced some of the arguably most mature management tools of any distro, most notablly Yast.
* \* Manages a STABLE set of versions that have not changed in 20 years:
* \- OpenSuSE Leap \(stable version\, major updates every 18 months or so\, track record of painless upgrades\)
* \- OpenSuSE Tumbleweed \(rolling release\, bleeding edge\)
* \- SuSE \(commercial version with support\)

Join us Wednesday to learn more about the main FOSS track, Leap; starting with a recorded review from the SuSE Leap management team, we will then spend with some time with Q and A and cruising the different resources from OpenSUSE.

Details will be published on [https://www.sluug.org](https://www.sluug.org/)/ when available.
