Linux-Ottawa April 2024 Meeting. ==== Date/Time: ==== Thursday April 4th at 7pm /* ** Breaking space is a fun thing to use here. The dokuwiki method is ** to use two '\' characters, followed by a single space to create the ** newline without converting it to a new paragraph. This can only be ** used at the end of a line. ** ** Ordered or unordered lists are two apaces at the beginning of the ** line, followed by a '*' for unordered or '-' for ordered. ** ** deeper indentation for indented lists */ ==== Format: ==== - Online over Jitsi https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2024-04-04_greaseweazel - Check mailing list for in-person clusters being hosted by other members. ==== Program: ==== __Topics__ - Scott Murphy will give a talk/demonstration of using a greaseweazel for floppy data recovery. - We had a somewhat recent list discussion on recovering data from floppy disks that realistically do not have current support or hardware. - The talk will be an absolute beginner's attempt to recover some of that data and by "beginner's attempt", it means I have not previously attempted to read "foreign" diskettes from 40+ years ago, so this is a brand new thing for me to try. - John Nash has a short talk on the annual burden of tax filing, PDFs, and using pdftk. A usual, there are unanticipated challenges with even what appears to be the simplest of things. - JF Messier may have an item to discuss as well. Assuming we have not run out the clock at this point.
