From announce at lists.nycbug.org Mon Jul 2 18:27:36 2012 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:27:36 -0400 Subject: [announce] Upcoming NYC*BUG Message-ID: A few announcements, but most importantly, this Wednesday's meeting is postponed to the following week, July 11. There is no meeting on July 4. * July 11 Meeting 2012-07-11 @ 18:30 - Location: Suspenders http://www.nycbug.org/?action=locations#suspenders Bring a Box, Rock Your tmux(1), Matthew Story A good terminal multiplexer is a vital part of the UNIX Developer and Systems Engineer toolkit. For the better part of a decade, I installed GNU screen(1) on each and everyone of my machines, dealing with the lack of useful features, over-abundance of useless features, complex configuration mini-language, and it's preference to setuid to root. Then along came the OpenBSD project's tmux(1), and everything changed. Core to the idea of tmux(1) is a command interface, used for both configuration and run-time, making it a simple, easy-to-learn and easy-to-use (and configure) tool. In addition to this, tmux(1) gives you vertical and horizontal panes, pane templates, simple pane resizing, and so much more. If you're a screen(1) user, consider this a Screen User's Anonymous session; if you have refused to engage a terminal multiplexer to this point, and your monitor is cluttered daily with 20 - 30 terminal windows ... consider this your salvation; either way, bring your box and we'll get you rocking with tmux(1) in a couple of hours. About the speaker: Matthew Story is Director of the AxialMarket Corps of Engineers, and a contributor to the FreeBSD project. He regularly uses the small gun; xargs(1) is his favorite program (especially with -P). * FOSSCon (.org) is August 11, and they are looking for BSD speakers. * Are you going to HOPE (hopenumbernine.net)? We are planning to have fliers for the FreeBSD port bug-busting hackathon and the August meeting. If interested in tabling, ping us on admin at . * We are working on the details for a FreeBSD bug-busting for ports in late July/early August, which we are aiming to hold in coordination with the San Francisco FreeBSD User Group. Keep an eye out for details, but it will likely be on a Saturday.
