moin moin,
January's east side topic is "alternative uses".
Freedom 0 of the 4 freedoms of Free Software is "The freedom to run the
program, for any purpose"[0].
So, for what purposes other than those intended do we use our Free
Software?
Have you ever used a text editor to manipulate filenodes? Have you used a
graphics program to work on cryptography? Have you created or found a
hidden 'feature' ( easter egg ) in Free Software?
Hidden feature examples are ":help 42" in vi or calling aptitude with the
'moo' option.
This is an audience participation topic, so please bring up your favorite
unintended uses for software and hidden features. Feel free to start
bringing them up on the list now as well :).
Dennis has offered to give us a presentation on creating templates in the
OpenOffice.org drawing module for printing CD labels.
He will also cover some OO.o tips and tricks.
This Thursday at 19:00.
The Sequoia Charter School is located at 1460 S Horne, Mesa[1], just
north of US 60 on the west side of the street. There is NOT a freeway ramp
at Horne, so take the Mesa or Stapley exit north to Southern. Turn south
onto Horne and look for Sequoia on the right.
