The North Bay Linux Users’ Group is a computer users serving the San Francisco North Bay and surrounding areas.
We strive to promote Linux, Free Software, Open Source, open standards, and to generally have a good time by hosting social events that educate, allow members to share ideas and knowledge and to build friendships.
We hold regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each month with a selected topic presented by a guest speaker.
Meetings and membership are free and open to the public.
Please sign up for the announce mailing list to receive notifications of upcoming events, or join us on the talk mailing list or in IRC to get help with Linux.
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,
Derek Noonburg
President, North Bay Linux Users’ Group
There’s a change of venue for the March meeting (because Redwood Cafe
has live music on the 12th). The meeting will be at Flagship Taproom,
just up the street:
