[GoLUG] August Meeting Topic?

[Steve Litt]

Hi David,

When I publicize your talk, I can't use phrases like "not entirely
useful" and "mostly correct". Please read the following and correct as
necessary:

===========================================
Constructing Your Own Linux and FreeBSD Packages

Admin/Developer David Billsbrough will demonstrate how to make your own
software packages in Devuan (.deb), Void Linux (xbps), and FreeBSD
(.pkg) with easy to understand examples. You'll learn techniques to make
package making easier, faster, and more reliable, as well as learning
where the landmines lie, how to avoid them, and what to do if you get
caught by a landmine.

===========================================

As far as "not entirely useful", that's covered by "easy to
understand". As far as "mostly correct", leave some time for
experimentation. Just say what you don't know, and there will be
audience members who do know, so working with them, you can solve the
problems. 

I'll publicize your presentation as soon as you OK or change my
publicity blurb. I think this is going to be a VERY popular
presentation.

Thanks David,


SteveT
