Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement
Who: Leander Harding<br>
What: Living Desktop Environment-Free<br>
Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance) <br>
When: Tuesday, October 21st, 2014 at 7pm<br>
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br>
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ <br>
KDE, Unity, even XFCE, are massive, complex software environments that
achieve simplicity of user experience through rigid adherence to a given
paradigm - and once you can write a shell script, they do remarkably
little for you. We'll discuss philosophy, tools, and practical advice
for simpler, more reliable, and more powerful computing without a
desktop environment, surveying everything from non-annoying network
profile handling to the wide world of mouse-free window management and
everything in between.
Leander Harding is a developer at Cloud Four and a longtime Linux user.
He's been running desktop environment-free since 2007.
Many will head to the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne after the meeting.
See you there!
