August General Meeting

When: Tue August 13, 2024 07:00 PM to 08:30 PM

Speaker: Scott Larson

Location: CoLab Presentation Lab

The August NBLUG meeting will be Tuesday August 13. We’re going to do something a little different: Scott Larson has generously booked the CoLab Presentation Lab for us. He’s going to demo Obsidian:

Obsidian is a modular PKM tool that you can adapt to the specific way you think. I’m using Obsidian to organize projects, track my progress with jobs, write articles and stories.

Before I started using Obsidian, I used this note taking app for the iOS device called “Editorial”. I really like it because you could code templates that fit your specific needs. With templates, you can create notes with pre-filled information reducing redundant keystrokes during the creation of a new note and during the note taking process.

Eventually the developer stopped supporting it and I started to have problems with it as the OS went through its iterations. I reached out to this news site I frequent “Hacker News” and one commenter suggested Obsidian for a replacement.

It’s been over a year now and I’m using for everything I do in my day to day work and creative life. I thought maybe this might be of interest to some people and I also realized that not many people know about it.

And Tom Most will give a quick demo of the screenshot tool Flameshot.

The demos will run 7-8pm at CoLab:

CoLab
427 Mendocino Ave., Suite 100
Santa Rosa, CA 95401

The door will be locked, so Scott will need to let people in. Text him at 707-416-5811 when you arrive.

After the demo (around 8pm), we’ll head around the corner to Flagship Taproom Santa Rosa:

Flagship Taproom Santa Rosa
446 B St.
Santa Rosa, CA

This is a sister location of the Flagship in Cotati. Don’t go to Cotati!

See you there,

Still at 7pm on March 12.

We’ll probably sit in Flaghip’s outdoor space. It’s covered, but it will likely be a little chilly. Dress accordingly!
