I will recommend to everyone if the have the available time to get involved. From a participant point of view, these are great learning experiences. For volunteers/Mentors, they are great for meeting different people and seeing what different types of ideas groups come up with. I have already put my hand up to be a volunteer and a participant in Launceston. Hope to see lots of others coming along.

At the meeting this month we will be having another two talks: ## Julius Roberts ## Using GitLabCI to build better software [1] ## Peter Billam ## Talking about some random-distribution generators in Lua and PostScript, some Markov Chains, some first steps in torch - and then an unorthodox Guitar-Tablature. The venue for this month will be Enterprize Hobart: When: Thursday 20 September 2018 - 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start Where: Enterprize - Hobart 5th floor, Hobart City Council Building 24 Davey Street (map: https://goo.gl/maps/SNWs8FJcvEk) Note: the doors inside the foyer will be locked, so you will need to use the intercom to let us know to buzz you in. However, if you arrive after 6:30pm, then I'll leave a note with a phone number to call as the intercom isn't near where the talks will be. Enterprize provide a selection of alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and coffee pods for the appropriate donation, as well as free instant coffee and tea. So come at 6:00pm, get a drink, and have a bit of a mingle before the talks start at 6:30pm. We will also be heading out to find somewhere to eat afterwards for those interested. I would like to to extend a big thank you to Enterprize for generously allowing us to use their space to hold regular meetings. SeeYa, John. --- [1] When used along side modern software development practices, GitlabCI allows you to build better software, all in the open. This will be a somewhat speedy practical overview of GitlabCI followed by question time. 1. gitlab issues and issue boards 2. issue branching and merge requests 3. the ci yml file (layout, stages, jobs, artifacts) 4. gitlab runner types (docker, daemon) and daemon execution modes 5. install and register runner daemon 6. exploring the runner filesystem layout; "where is my code", and manual testing/debug 7. ?? 8. possible further discussion points: - gitlab deployment options (license, self hosted vs gitlab.com) - semantic versioning, git tagging and gitlab download URLs - conda virtual environments Requires a working knowledge of git and branching strategies. Assumes a basic familiarity with gitlab. May assume understanding of conda python and conda virtual environments --- From jkristen at theintraweb.net Wed Sep 19 14:24:58 2018 From: jkristen at theintraweb.net (John Kristensen) Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:24:58 +1000 Subject: [TasLUG] Hobart TasLUG Meeting: Thursday 20 September In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4cc8fcd1-4a79-7948-281c-f9c2ae45f92d@theintraweb.net> Hello All, A reminder that the next Hobart TasLUG Meeting is on tomorrow evening.
