The Gathering / Software Freedom First Saturday (April)

Software Freedom First Saturday: The Gathering

Start your month off right, by building software freedom with your technical friends.

Featuring:

1. Jeffrey S. Haemer - A Bit of Bash: Comparative Computer Linguistics
2. Chris Fedde - Incus Containers are better (than LXD + LXC)
3. Open Mic: Your own show-and-tell or question

Bring:

1. A machine, preferably Linux
2. A question or an idea
3. Maybe a show and tell

Event Details:
There is a value for value ask of most events, this month is:
Pay what we ask: $16 https://paypal.me/sfs303/16
Or, pay what you choose: [pwyc@sofree.us](http://mailto:pwyc@sofree.us)

[ If this your first time, show up, see if you like it, and decide our value then. No one will be turned away for lack of payment. ]

This is a hybrid event, in-person preferred.

When you register, you'll be asked whether you're planning to participate in-person or online. We need to know so we can plan seats and snacks.

We use Big Blue Button (it's like Zoom) for our online classroom:

• https://bbb.sofree.us/rooms/ppy-bfd-gy8-l8g/join

- We also have Mattermost for sharing notes, leaving links, and messaging.

Doors and BBB open at 8:30am.

Those that get there early will take a vote for the rally track before presentations begin (to let everyone know the show is beginning and to take a seat or turn up volume):

• The Gathering by Frank Turner (2:39)
• Better Than You by Metallica

Want to learn bash? It's different. I'll say why. Here are my slides.
