15-min demo about LyX at the upcoming LinuxDay, on Oct 22nd in Pisa (Italy), and I've just been notified that this might really happen :-)!
Indeed, it happened :-)! Just a quick note that all attendees raised their hands when asked about familiarity with LaTeX, but only one of them knew LyX already (positive experience of a thesis written with LyX). Despite this, I wasn't assaulted & destroyed by LaTeX geeks as I was expecting :-)... I ended up with making an overview of LyX features, +/- following those few slides I circulated already http://retis.sssup.it/~tommaso/LinuxDay-2016.pdf I made a live demonstration of: - LyX maths & tables editing - graphics insertion including easy creation of .odg graphics from samples (local patch) and .gnuplot scripts/plots automatically graph-ed (local patch) - advanced find & replace, including finding styles with regexps and finding maths - LyX chat (local patch) through the use of a local XMPP server on my laptop - and a few other things. [more or less, all things included in my tommaso repo, linux-day-2016 branch, perhaps I'll polish and push something else tomorrow] Got a couple of students asking off-line some more details about external scripting similar to what I had shown with .gnuplot :-)! So, let's hope to get some more users and/or contributors :-)! Cheers, T.
