Topics (in no particular order): Blender Part 2. Intro to OpenOffice.org
Impress. Intro to PGP, GPG and Keys
This meeting will be a continuation of our "mini-presentations" with three
interesting topics.
Brian will continue with his demonstrations with Blender
(
http://www.blender3d.com), a 3D graphics creation and animation tool.
Last month he showed us the basics of the user interface. This month he
will build on that introduction.
Joseph Sinclair, our Devel EEP Lead, will discuss the basics of Pretty
Good Privacy (PGP) encryption. Things like public keys and private keys
and why we should use them more. We wish to educate ourselves the point
where we can have a full key signing party and build up a web of trust in
the group. Joseph will start us down the path to encryption
enlightenment.

I, Alan, will do a live creation of a presentation using OpenOffice.org
Impress. It'll be basic but, if you have been scared to use it, I'll
show you that you can defeat your fear! Assuming there is time, we may
go beyond the basics with a few nice slide element animations. We can
explore features together.
Alan
