 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.
+Some of the issues involved:
+- 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.
-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 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
-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.
+Discussion welcome. Pre-meeting questions on the linux-ottawa mailing list (linux@linux-ottawa.org)
+would be helpful.
