I can talk on Blender, for as long as anyone will listen. :)
I'll put your name next to Blender then. :-)
Sure. Maybe you should let me know which parts of Blender you *don’t* want me to talk about. ;)
Just a quick demo, something like 15min. Can be more, depending on how many other presenters at the meeting.
I can also talk a little bit about setup for music/audio production using Jack, if anyone is interested. Though I have only lightly dabbled in that.
User interface or commandline?
Mostly GUI, using QJackCtl, my old Korg X5 keyboard with a USB-MIDI adapter, various sound sources and sequencers. I did write a small script (pajackconnect <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Digital_Music_Composition/Making_Sound#ALSA.2C_PulseAudio.2C_JACK>) to gracefully start and stop JACK in the presence of PulseAudio. I should check if that’s even still needed...
I also have an old Wacom tablet that can be used to demo touch-sensitive drawing applications. This works with Gimp and Inkscape, but is particularly effective with MyPaint.
That could be quite interested, too!
I could spend minute or two showing that before hitting the limits of my drawing abilities. :)
Someone like William could certainly do a whole lot more with it.
I've added the meeting with preliminary speakers here: http://www.meetup.com/WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup/events/233952289/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
