Tokyo Linux Users Group

Introduction

All Linux lovers, and supporters of open source code and free software, in the Kanto area (or anywhere else) are invited to attend the next Tokyo Linux Users Group meeting. Membership is open to anyone. There are currently no membership dues or entrance fees.

TLUG meetings are traditionally small and unstructured (VERY CASUAL). Most of the benefit of the meeting comes from chatting with other Linux users and having informal discussions.

As a general rule, the Technical Meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of odd-numbered months and the Nomikai Meetings are usually held on the 2nd Friday of even-numbered months. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, so it is best to keep an eye on the mailing list, or check back here for date/venue changes as the date approaches.

Itinerary

“Introduction to Snakemake” - by Raymond Wan

Snakemake is a workflow definition language similar to Make that is gradually becoming popular in the field of bioinformatics. Even so, there is nothing about Snakemake that limits its use to bioinformatics. Unlike Make, the Snakemake language is Python-based. In this talk, I will introduce Snakemake and provide examples of how it can be used for data analysis.

''' “VDO, transparent Linux compression/de-duplication layer” by Christian Horn '''

''' “Linux on the Nintendo Switch” - by Christian Horn '''

''' “Introduction to Matrix, a platform for unified, decentralised, secure communication” - by Alexey Rusakov '''

The talk will discuss Matrix (https://www.matrix.org), an open network for real-time communications. I will describe its main features (servers federation, end-to-end encryption, bridging) and show what sets Matrix apart from many other messengers. I'll further talk about how one can use Matrix to bridge communities across other networks, both proprietary and open, including IRC, Telegram and Slack. An overview of the ecosystem and a short demo will conclude the talk.

After

After the technical meeting we will move on to the Oktober Fest at Hibiya park, where Benjamin Kowarsch has informed us he will be serving at the stall for “Weltenburger, the world's oldest abbey brewery, in operation since at least AD 1035 in Bavaria.”
