about this room

EdLUG's monthly Saturday meeting, back at Old College for December. This one has a theme: a round-table on using Linux in robotics research, alongside the usual open format where people bring laptops and work through whatever is broken.

Hosted by Douglas Ian Scott. Expect talk on distros, shell scripting, desktop customisation, server management and self-hosting, plus show-and-tell on hardware projects and open-source replacements for everyday software. Beginners moving off Windows or macOS are explicitly welcome.

Teaching Room 10, second floor (three floors up from ground). Take the first entrance on the right as you enter the quad, the Edinburgh Law School door. Free, two hours.

why go

a themed robotics round-table on top of the usual fix-it table, where you can turn up with a broken GRUB and leave with it sorted. Best for robotics researchers, sysadmins and self-hosters.
