This month we will be having a talk on experiences with modern documentation tools. This is not a tutorial on how to use them, but rather a series of anecdotes and examples of some relatively modern tools and the joy of getting them to work as advertised. This is a bit of a followup to the slide production talk from last December.

As per our newer format, we will have a one hour pre-meeting item from 6:00 to 7:00 for people who are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who are just getting started.

Speaker: various

If anybody has a short topic they would like to present to the group or some new thing they would like to share, this is your opportunity.

Speaker: John C. Nash
