repositories for the rest of us

2007/05/07: techbootcamp 2

The techbootcamp crew got together again yesterday. It's been difficult coordinating schedules but we finally managed. I think it should be a bit easier from now on, since the library school students are finishing up their quarter.

My camera is acting a bit funny, so I don't have pictures this time. This week we discussed the basics of Linux -- files, directories, command structure (command+arguments+flags), common commands for moving files around, shell navigation tips. T. brought her chihuahua puppy Oberon which lightened the mood. T & I both got accounts so they can practice logging into a shell and playing around with the commands.

Slowly, but surely, we're working towards the day when techbootcamp can become a working lab where we can get hands-on experience with the major Open Source applications in digital archiving. Yay.

Next meeting will be 5/27 3pm at the Boneless Ranch. I should have my camera fixed by then.
