April 12 General Meeting: Life After Second Life: Metaverse

by E Frank Ball III

Topic: Life After Second Life: Metaverse When: Tues April 12th, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Speaker: Mike Higgins Location: O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA in the Tarsier conference room past the metal statue and to the right ( http://nblug.org/locations ) I gave a talk here once before about programming in the video game Second Life ( http://nblug.org/node/155/ ). This time I'll talk about Life After Second Life. There is a larger world, a Metaverse, of open source MMORPGs based on the open source Second Life Viewer projects and the Open Simulator project. There are hundreds of small companies trying to make a living doing what Second Life did. There are thousands of crazy artists creating 3D environments and inviting you to walk through them, there are tens of thousands of people setting up virtual environments on their own PCs and all of these are starting to link up to each other. My plan is to not have many slides for this talk, but log onto several different virtual worlds and put them up on the Big Screen while I talk. Eventually taking us to my private world run off the server in my barn. - Mike Higgins

March 8th NBLUG meeting: Dreaming in git

by Allan Cecil

When: March 8th, 2015 7:30 pm Speaker: Marcel M. Cary Location: O'Reilly Media at 1005 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol, CA in the Tarsier conference room past the metal statue and to the right (http://nblug.org/locations) Title: Dreaming in git Description: In this presentation, we’ll get to know Git intimately enough to anticipate its every move. We’ll develop a visual mental model for a Git repository. Then we’ll explore how every-day Git commands manipulate that model. Along the way, we’ll find ways to peek into Git’s inner world to confirm our understanding. This is not an introduction to Git; it targets a developer who can commit, branch, and merge with Git. Although I’ll show example commands and output, consider bringing a laptop with Git installed so you can type along.
