The last Hobart TasPubLUG was only a few weeks ago, but we thought we would try
to get the Hobart meet-ups back to their regular 3rd Thursday of the month and
this month the 3rd Thursday is an early one… Oh well.
This month we will be heading to the pub again to talk about any topics related
to Free and Open Source software, hardware, and culture that take our fancy.
There was a special request for this month that people bring along any hardware
projects they are working on, or new gadgets they have recently acquired, and
give a bit of an explanation about what they are being used for. If you have a
new single board computer, dev board, crypto card, or yubi key, etc. bring it
along, we would be keen to hear about it.
- When:
- 6:30pm, Thursday 22 March 2018
- Where:
- Shambles Brewery (222 Elizabeth Street Hobart)
http://www.shamblesbrewery.com.au/
- Bring:
- Any new hardware projects or gadgets.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.

For those of you that missed the news, Scott stepped down as the Hobart
coordinator of TasLUG meetings at the end of last year. Volunteer work like
this can often be a thankless job, so in case it hasn’t already been said…
We would like to say a huge thank you on behalf of the TasLUG community to
Scott for organising these meetings for the last 4 years. He has done a
wonderful job of finding speakers with interesting talks to present and
ensuring there was always a space to have the monthly meetings.
The upshot of this though is that no one else has yet put their hand up to
organise meetings so they are currently on hiatus for the foreseeable future.
However a few people have expressed an interest in still catching up regularly
in person. So this month we will be heading to the pub to talk about the usual
things we talk about at meetings.

- 6:30pm, Thursday 22 March 2018

There might be a bit of discussion about the future of TasLUG in Hobart, so if
you have any opinions or some free time to help out it would be great if you
can come along. If you can’t make it, then we always enjoy people dropping by
IRC/Matrix for a chat.

Hi people! For this month’s Launceston meeting, we will look at creating,
manipulating and converting raster based images with ImageMagick. While used
as a terminal tool, ImageMagick is a set of libraries that can be interfaced
from a number of programming languages to allow the user to create their own
image manipulation applications. This presentation will discuss many of
ImageMagick’s options and demonstrate a range of its features.

As always, everybody is welcome to come along and join the discussion. Hope to
see you there!

The current coordinator of the Hobart meetings recently posted the following on
the TasLUG mailing list:
Hi everyone,
This year has gotten very busy for me with many side projects and it doesn’t
look like it will let up any time soon. With declining attendance, I don’t
have the time to continue organising Hobart TasLUG meetings and I am open to
someone else taking up the reins.
If you’d like to give it a go, let the list know in reply and/or join the
chat on Matrix #taslug:matrix.org or IRC #taslug@freenode.
Cheers Scott
We would love to hear from you if you are interesting in helping to coordinate
future Hobart TasLUG meetings.
