3 day warning! * THURS 6:30pm*
Think to call your friends who might LOVE to participate in...
Topic: *Bash Variable "Scope & Lifetime" Difficulties*
Subtitle:* It is 6:30 p.m.. Do you know where your variables are?*
Presenter: Ed Howland
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Ed_Howland&sa=D&sour…>
Abstract:
Bash is both a shell and a full programming language. However, it is
quite different from most other programming languages. This tutorial
helps you understand one such difference: Variable scopes which is just a
high falutin' way of saying: "variable visibility".
How far into a script does a variable continue to exist?
(This *was originally* *advertised* as the "basic tutorial" *for last week*'s
general mtng. It was *MOVED TO TONITE* because it grew in length to fill
this longer time slot.)
Thurs 17 April 6:30pm

- The STLLINUX meetings are eight days after the SLUUG General meeting;
so, usually on the third or fourth Thursday of each month from* 6:30 PM

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6:00pm Join early to start testing. During this period others may be
able to help you test.
You may be muted on entry, so join early if you want to start testing
of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking. You can use use Alt+A
to unmute or mute your audio. Space bar too.
Your best experience might be with a Chromium based web browser.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback

The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest,
longest enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization
active in the Greater St. Louis Area.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of any
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Further instructions below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use ZOOM remote video service 3 April 2025.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser. We suggest
that you clear browser cache and cookies before starting any session.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:
We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Standard Time.
Join early to test your controls, hearing (sound), video screen sharing
and microphone (speaking). You might be muted on entry.
During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset can result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at least earbuds is highly
recommended. Wired Ethernet is always better than WiFi connectivity.
If you do not take the time and make the effort to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Annoying disruptions
may cause you to be kicked off the session.
Try dropping your connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues;
but, do so slowly, as granting access to your microphone and camera too
quickly is the current main problem. Also, there are often sound
settings in different browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00 PM Join early.
Please set your identity to show first name and last name. Instead of
full last name you could just follow first name with an initial. We
do prefer that you use your full last name.
Please hold you questions until after start of the meeting.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6:30 PM Start of meeting.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments. Disconnecting and reconnecting usually
fixes issues from an initial problem session.
All may be muted at this point. You will have to unmute yourself in
order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORDER OF EVENTS:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call-For-Help during our Questions-and-Answers period.
Sometimes we may watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
We usually hold a Hardware and Software Configuration Workshop when
nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other
event or activity scheduled. This is an open free format workshop.
In this workshop we usually assess, configure, examine, fix, install,
repair, and troubleshoot difficult hardware and software configuration
problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also frequently fixed.

MAIN Topic: Special Website Transition Working Session
Presenter: Sean Twiehaus
************************************************************************
Live code combination, procedures, transition, and work flow instruction
on the transition to the new SLUUG website developed by Sean Twiehaus.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As demonstrated: https://site.sluug.org
ONLINE session will use ZOOM remote video service 27 March 2025.
Read and view ahead information will soon follow separately.
Check the home page for further information and updates.
It would be a big help if the people who plan on attending the Thursday
meeting could pre-read what I have below.
This is the repo for the site:
https://git.sluug.org/git/sluug_stllug_site **Login credentials
required. To be issued Thusday.**
This repo will have updates several times a month as new content is
added for the new meetings. If you look in the README.md file it
describes the commands that are available for developing the site,
building the site, previewing the site, etc. The build command will
create a ./dist directory. That directory contains the content that
needs to be copied to the web server.
This is the repo for the AI Content Generation:
https://git.sluug.org/git/sluug_stllug_generation **Login credentials
required. To be issued Thursday.**
This repo contains a script to generate AI content to supplement what
the presenter provided. This repo should change very infrequently. The
idea is, you take what the presenter sends to steercom, you format that
information into JSON and put it in the correct location, then you run
this script. It will add more content. You copy the content to the site
repo. You build, preview, and commit the content to the site repo. You
should not actually commit any content to this script repo. The
README.md file explains how to set up a dev system and the initial json
files to run the script.
As of right now the README files are the same on Github and Bock. They
haven't diverged yet. So the people attending the Thursday meeting could
read the READMEs here:
https://github.com/seantwie03/sluug_stllug_generationhttps://github.com/seantwie03/sluug_stllug_site
Looking at the site, it looks like the last update I did was December.
NOTE: December SLUUG was done. December STLLUG was NOT done.
So during the meeting I can show the process by adding January SLUUG and
STLLUG. Then we can divide the other months up amongst meeting
participants. Maybe Stan can do Feb SLUUG, someone else can do Feb
STLLUG, someone else can do March SLUUG, someone else can do March
STLLUG, etc. The more people that can get hands-on experience with the
process the better!
