**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?** TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project. All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist. Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

Welcome to learn and discuss Linux & c++ topics on Tue 26.5. Aayush Sahay (Lead Developer, Travel Department) gives first a lightning talk on Unifying CLI Tools for 4 Different Linux Distributions. When you like BAT & TMUX and want them with identical personalized CLI views on Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu & Debian, you end up in a jungle of package managers, naming differences, version challenges and automating needs… Aayush will discuss how he is navigating this and also wants to hear other suggestions. https://aaysah92.github.io/ Next we hear from Tamás Boros (Graphics c++ dev and performance engineer) on Graphics compatibility layers on Linux. Lately Tamás has been living in the world of mobile and consoles, focusing on how to bridge the gap between heavy-duty rendering and portable hardware. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Linux/c++ enthusiast, you are very welcome to join. This event is a joint meetup between Dublin C++ User Group, Linux Developers Ireland and Dublin Linux Community. Please RSVP in one of the 3 meetup groups, so we know the seating needs beforehand. The program will start at 7pm, in the Abbey room of the Camden Court hotel, where we can also quench our thirst before and after the talks in the bar next to the room. See you on Tue 26.5.! Please note: \- There is no free food/pizza served at this event\. \- We plan to take a few photos at the event\. \- This event is in Dublin city center and there is no free parking\.

Let's spend a summer afternoon exploring the area around the River Liffey and Grand Canal Dock. We'll meet at **Mayor Square** at **15:00**, outside Cool Hand, where we can grab a coffee before we set off. After taking some time around the square and the north side of the Liffey, we'll cross either the Sean O'Casey or Samuel Beckett bridge, and walk along the south of the river. Our end goal is to get to Grand Canal Square, which should provide an excellent opportunity for urban landscapes and architecture photography. There are also quite a few options for food and drinks in the area, so we can end our walk in a pub restaurant. If you'd like to stay in touch between events to share and chat about photos, life, the universe, and everything, you can join our new Signal or Telegram group chats, linked below. * [Signal Group Chat](https://signal.group/#CjQKIHwLgV-sbNo5zEs-puKDIuniaus_YfYSdRJTbtwO_MwEEhCiXhPvTTOjK05Ckda4ADzP) * [Telegram Group Chat](https://t.me/+MyFJqkiPZksyNGY0)
