Next General LILUG Meeting
Meeting Place & Time
Tomorrow, February 9th @ 8:00pm at Farmingdale State College, 150 Whitman Hall
Topic: Matt Surico on Open Source Desktop Publishing
LILUG Secretary Matt Surico will delve into the wonderful world of creating graphics using the GIMP and Inkscape, and doing layout and incorporating graphics into documents for print using Scribus.
Matt will have some finished products on hand that were created in Scribus and will show how the layout was done as well as how many of the graphics were created. Along the way, he'll show off many of the important features of the GIMP and Inkscape, how they are similar and how they are different, and hopefully show some tips and tricks that will help both novice and expert alike in using these tools to create great graphics for print and the web.
- The next Lilug meeting is: Tomorrow, February 9th @ 8:00pm
- The next Lilug IRC meeting is: Tuesday, February 16th @ 8:00pm
Parking @ General Meeting

We are using mediawiki to power this website. Not sure how a wiki system works? Read Wikipedia's getting started guide to learn how this works.
Development
Development still needs to be done on the skin that we're using for mediawiki. Experimentation with any part of the skin is totally welcomed and encouraged. So, if you want to play around with it, everything you need, including instructions on how to get started, is available in Mark's git repository. You can view the repository or go ahead and checkout the lilug wiki bits by running the following command:
git clone http://git.markdrago.com/git/lilug
