KWLUG Meeting: Monday, Aug 12, 2024, 7pm

Michael Free will discuss how he put together a digital signage player using common Linux utilities and bash scripts. He will discuss using Debian preseeding for automatic installation, packaging deb files, using Cockpit to manage digital signs, and Ansible for automation.

Mikalai Birukou will tell us about how to automate things using macros in LibreOffice. He writes:

The world is run on spreadsheets. We'll dissect the awesomeness of spreadsheets, making a macro or two in LibreOffice. LibreOffice has a trick for automation, which we'll use for live coding and checking our instructions to the office. Bring a laptop with LibreOffice on it for this hands on session. Macros will be in Basic, and live commands in Python -- you'll have a refresher on the way.                                
                                                                             
I used as a reference a book by Andrew Pitonyak.
