[Announce] October 8 2019 - MUG Meeting

[craig at decafbad.net]

We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the
Farmington Community Library.

 Topics Include:

 Gitlab

 Managing programming projects can be a daunting task. Keeping track
of issues is enough of a challenge, but also keeping track of who can
commit and merge code, who can download the code, and even who can
access the code in the first place. The default for most projects is
Github, but up until recently you couldn't create a private repo in
Github without paying them for the privilege. And then if you want to
have Kanban boards and continuous integration / deployment you'll have
to either figure that out on your own or pay someone else to integrate
that for you. And what if you're required to self-host your own
solution? What then?

 What if there were an alternative to Github for managing both open
source and closed source projects? There is an alternative to Github
called Gitlab. Wolf will demonstrate how to install, administer, and
use GitLab: a GitHub-like server for individuals, teams, or
communities.  We’ll hit all the high points including keeping GitLab
up-to-date, user permissions, creating and sharing repos, issue
management, Trello-like boards, integrations (hooks), and continuous
integration/continuous deployment.

 Wolf has been a software engineer for over 40 years and has spoken on
Open Source related topics around the world. He's worked on such
varied projects as Mozilla, Final Cut Pro, the Newton, and the
SoundDroid. He currently works on K-12 learning software at Cambium
Learning Group in Ann Arbor, MI. 


 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
