**We'll be having 2 presentations this month from Ed Nicholson and der.hans.
*Ed Nicholson - Technical Debts and Digital Assets*
*Description*
Exploring the analogy of debt and real world financial obligations, as
a context for a software's or system's life cycle.
Debt and Software are both fundamentally types of Intangible Assets.
This talk is an exploration of how the much older asset class, Debt,
may be usefully applied in understanding the relative newcomers,
Software and Systems.
*About Ed*:
I support Free Software and how people, organizations and populations
use, create and experience information. I enjoy The Prescott National
Forest as my "office" and The Valley of The Sun as a home away from
home. Personal systems run either Fedora, Project Atomic, Android or
OpenBSD.
*der.hans - Introduction to /etc/alterntives*
*Description*:
/etc/alternatives allows choosing among many programs to provide a
certain functionality.
For instance, editor can point the locally preferred text editor.
alternatives will also make sure man-pages also match.
Attendees will learn:
What is /etc/alternatives
Why is /etc/alternatives
How to configure /etc/alternatives
How to use helper scripts
