The vi editor, introduction through advanced usage, presented by Michael
Paoli
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2010-06-15 BALUG meeting, we're excited to present:
The vi editor, introduction through advanced usage, presented by Michael
Paoli
Don't know what vi is? New to vi, or been using vi for years? Whatever
familiarity and experience you do or don't have with vi, this
presentation promises to include something useful for everyone. It will
cover from basic introduction to vi, through many powerful and useful
tips and tricks (e.g. handy and powerful editing operations, and
leveraging vi to do much more than "just" edit files). Some of the
differences and advantages and disadvantages of various vi
implementations (historic vi, nvi, vim, etc.) will also be covered.
While vi may be simply and modestly described as "a screen oriented
text editor", vi is in fact the standard (and de facto standard) text
editor for at least UNIX, Linux, and BSD environments, and it's also
been ported to many other environments. But don't underestimate vi just
because it's "standard". vi is a quite powerful and capable editor, and
greatly outperforms the text editing capabilities of many other editors.
Michael Paoli has been using vi for well over a quarter century, from
humble beginnings with introductory documentation and quick reference
card in hand, to oft repeated, "Wow, how did you do that?" remarks from
co-workers watching some of his vi wranglings. He's also been doing
Linux systems administration for over a dozen years, and used UNIX all
the way back to his humble vi beginnings.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
rsvp at balug.org
**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the
Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and they help ensure that we'll be
able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

Installfests (2010-06-13 in Berkeley; etc.)
Looks like the Berkeley Linux Users Group[1] is doing an installfest in
Berkeley on 2010-06-13, not at their regular (Bobby G's) location (they
may not be meeting there that day), but at ZaReason[2]'s location in
Berkeley. Details should be findable somewhere on their website[1]
and/or list[3].
Noisebridge[4] and the Ubuntu California Team[5] teamed up for a
2010-05-30 installfest[6][7] at the Noisebridge[4] location in San
Francisco.
The above are some examples of additional installfest activity in the
(near) Bay Area region that have at least occasionally been happening,
in addition to the quite regular installfests at Cabal[8].
