[kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday: bazaar, Drupal

[Paul Nijjar]

NOW PLAYING

Theatre of the Bazaar: In this riveting drama, Adam (played by Adam
Glauser) struggles against the forces of file mismatches, sprawling
software repositories and accidental deletions.  He teams up with a
misunderstood underdog version control system (played by bazaar) to
vanquish their foes and learn about themselves and each other. Glauser
gives a fresh face to an old story, in a performance that is getting
early Oscar buzz. Rated PG. 

Adventures in Drupalia: A hapless systems administrator (played by
Paul Nijjar) is thrust into the world of web development. Despite the
dated visuals (didn't LaTeX go out of style in the 90s?) and blatant
miscasting, the film draws viewers into the strange sociology and
technology of the Drupal content management system. Rated PG-13.

FLOSS Fund LXIV - jQuery: The latest incarnation of this
software-exploitation franchise features jQuery (http://jquery.com), and
innocent JavaScript library that started out making AJAXy dynamic
websites easy to build, and ended up being the victim of wanton
philanthropy by KWLUG members. Rated R. 

COMING SOON

Ubuntu Global Jam (Release date: Saturday, Sept 8, 4-8pm). The trials

12.10? Held at Kwartzlab, 283 Duke St West, Kitchener. Rated G.
