OCLUG meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7pm
June Meeting: GNU Lilypond and GPS in Linux
Date: June 3, 2010 at 7 p.m.
Location: Algonquin College (Woodroffe Campus), room T117
GNU Lilypond
Speaker: Boris Shingarov
In this talk, Boris will present his work on GNU Lilypond -- an
open-source music engraving system -- in a publisher-grade
context. For the first time, Lilypond is used to typeset a
top-quality, definitive academic critical edition, to be printed by a
world's leading classical music publishing house. Boris will talk
about:
* A brief introduction to GNU Lilypond;
* Comparison to proprietary music typesetting systems;
* Specific needs of top-quality academic editions;
* Difficulties in using Lilypond for serious publication work
(what was making Lilypond not publisher-grade);
* Dynamics of relationship between the open-source development
community and real-life users: what makes it difficult for a
real user to get what they need for their work, from the
community; the role of a solution vendor; factors impeding
contributions upstream to the community;
* Lessons learned;
* Future work.
GPS in Linux
Speaker: Eric Brackenbury
Accessing GPS information using tools such as tangoGPS.
Eric hopes to start a lively and informative discussion on the current
state of Linux GPS applications.
If you have information, gadgets, and general knowledge, bring them
along for the round table.
Remember to start with the basics so everyone can benefit from the
discussion.
