 As per our new normal, we will utilize jitsi for our meeting.
-This month we have two talks, a main one and a follow-up to last month.
+This month John Nash will lead a discussion on managing photo / image collections.
-The talk will be an energetic op-ed on the failure of design methodologies from Tug. Prepare to be entertained/appalled/etc. I do not know the details and think the mystery is more of a draw than the details would be.
+Some of the issues involved:
-The second one will be much shorter and is a bit of a follow-up on the talk from last month driven by the post-meeting chat on conferencing gear.
+- the purpose of image collection(s)
+- captions and comments; other metadata by discussion
+- organization of collections; indexing
+- general tools
+- specific and custom tools
+- collaboration with others, esp. non-technical users
+Despite the title, some measures toward sensible organization of photo collections
+will be suggested.
+Some of the software mentioned will be
+- DigiKam
+- Geeqie
+- Gwenview
+- gThumb
+- Irfanview (yes, we know it's originally a Windoze program)
+- Mapivi
+- exiftool, exiv2, rdjpgcom, wrjpgcom
+- several of the author's own scripts and programs such as jpgdir2htm, JNJpgCom, and others
+Discussion welcome. Pre-meeting questions on the linux-ottawa mailing list (linux@linux-ottawa.org)
+would be helpful.

 Similar to last time, your output video and audio will be disabled when you join. In order to make sure the experience is a reasonable one for all involved, the presenter will share their screen-window-whatever they are comfortable with and you will see it quite clearly. Rather than unmute, pressing your space bar is supposed to unmute your microphone while pressed, so you can try that to ask questions. There is also the chat window, but when it is active it obscures part of the screen. Feel free to post questions and as opportunity presents itself and the presenter notices, they will get answered. After the presentation is completed, feel free to unmute and have a normal voice/video Q&A.
