[SGVLUG] Soliciting short talks for May

[Lan Dang]

James,
I'm tempted to ask you to speak about CMake and how to set it up for a project.
Other topics I just thought of:
* How do you start developing a Rails app and what are your options for deploying it?* How can you add bash-completion to your favorite tool?* What are some things you can put in your ssh config?* How do you manage your ssh keys?

I think your package looks fine the way it is laid out. Your using autotools. Its okay not to understand it completely, because I don't know anyone who does. I tried compiling it and it failed to find SDL, although I have it installed. So yeah its not completely right. You might want to consider CMake. You might find it easier to set up than autotools. Its my preferred build system and I believe its growing more popular. It has a bunch of stuff built in, such as a FindSDL routine. And there are plenty of modules out there for finding other packages.

Hi James,
 I didn\'t have in mind licensing or legal questions. More like a look at the GNU build system. Could look at it from the consumer\'s point of view, e.g. \"What happens when I do ./configure, make, make install?\" Or from the creators\': \"OK, I have a working app, now how do I use the autotools to create a publishable package?\" My own feeble attempt at this is online at www.desk-net.net (link at bottom of the page.) It works, kind of, but doesn\'t seem to be quite right. I don\'t believe I\'ve ever heard a presentation on how to do this.

  That\'s a really open ended question. Do you mean in terms of how
you wrap things up to distribute it as open source? Are you wondering
about things like directory structure organization, build systems or
licensing? On Wed, Feb 10, 2016, at 03:01 PM, John Slayton

 Anybody know how to assemble a GNU package?

 Hi all,
 We are expecting to meet at OpenX for February through April,
because
 that was the preference of our speakers. OpenX is a fabulous and
 generous host with a large meeting space, good wifi and a great A/V
 system.
 I actually really enjoy meeting at Du-Par\'s, and want to go back
 there in May. It\'s relaxing and great for socializing with fellow
LUG
 members. At the last LUG, some of the guys were still talking till
 4am.
 I am soliciting short talks that would appeal to the group in
 general. For example, Jess did this great overview on Linux Desktop
 environments a few meetings ago, that was a great hit. 
 Please come up with ideas of a talk you could give, or a talk you
 would like to hear.
 My contribution: A brief demo on how to get started with Git and
 GitHub
 Thanks,
 Lan
