Could somebody summarize the minutes of a meeting of this month's lugc
meet.
Here is my summary,
First of all i was astonished to see a good crowd in this meet, When i went
in there Mr. Chandrashekar Babu was introducing ruby programming language to
the attendees. He compared the features of perl,shell scripts, python with
ruby. He very much emphasised the readability of the ruby language.Then he
spoke about the garbage collection techniques used by the ruby interpretor
(reference count garbage collection) . I request him to share the examples
with the list members. Some examples include threading, sockets, number
crunching , string processing, freezing an object etc.
Then Mr.Suki Venkat of TNQ Publications spoke about MuLTiFlow, a XUL based
the text editor for scientific and technical writing. Multiflow supports
SVG and math symbols. The editor is packaged as a xpi file (firefox add-on
). You can also run MuLTiFlow as a standalone application by extracting the
xpi file and running the following command 'xulrunner application.ini'. The
whole editor is a javascript hack by Mr.Suki and his team.
Then we discussed about SFD, the number of stalls, volunteers etc. Mr.
M.Sivakumar wanted to spread the news about SFD to the common public, so he
and couple of folks have agreed to volunteer for the media and social media
promotion. It was almost dark when the meet got over.
