<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2016-01/> # A Journeyman's Tour of Vim with Giles Orr We won't be covering i-a-h-j-k-l:wq, but instead looking at a variety of commands and plugins you may not be familiar with that can make your editor even better. This will include a discussion of neovim, colours, dealing with your vimrc, mappings, buffers and tabs, sessions, plugins, VimScript, and possibly a couple other topics. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting a group of GTALUGers move to the The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socializing. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills. We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardize the participation of any person in the community. The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honored by everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims affiliation, or participates directly. It applies to activities online or offline. We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open. Please read more about the GTALUG Code of Conduct here: <http://gtalug.org/about/code-of-conduct/>. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ <board(a)gtalug.org>.

Meeting Tomorrow at 7:30pm with Christopher Browne and Scott Sullivan
by Myles Braithwaite 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2015-12/> # Terminal Multiplexers and PXE Boot ## Screen, Tmux, Byobu, the Secret Terminal Brains!!! ### Christopher Browne GNU Screen has been lurking around since the 1980s, as a kind of "tiling window manager atop curses". BSD folk spawned an analogue called tmux in 2009, offering both additions and removals of functionality. Byobu offers a harmonization, and (arguably) better user experience. We'll look at some usages, use cases, and see how frequently Byobu Hollywood crashes. ## Good Bye Boot Media! (or, don't copy that boot floopy) ### Scott Sullivan A tour of how network boot/install can save you ever having to burn a DVDs or USB drive. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting a group of GTALUGers move to the The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socializing. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.
