September General Meeting

Unix Video Night

The presentation originally scheduled for this month has had to be postponed. COVID is still a thing, despite our best efforts to ignore it, and our presenter, now retired from the medical profession, still prefers to do no harm. We wish Christian and his wife a speedy recovery.

In the meantime, we'll be viewing a number of short Unix-related videos at this month's meeting. Sure, you could just watch these at home, but then you'd miss out on the networking and interactive discussion — not to mention the pizza! So, please come join us for our first meeting of the 2023/2024 CUUG year. We look forward to seeing you!

Videos which we viewed or had lined up include the following:

• Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie Explain UNIX (Bell Labs)
• Pushing the Limits of Technology: The Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie Story
• Richard Stallman on Software Freedom
• Linux Torvalds: the Mind Behind Linux
• Penn and Teller's Lab Scam
• Brian Kernighan: Where GREP Came From — Computerphile
• Tim Berners-Lee: The Year Open Data Went Worldwide
• Jimmy Wales: The Birth of Wikipedia
• Dan Bricklin: Meet the Inventor of the Electronic Spreadsheet
