Technical Presentation 1 : "A Quick Introduction to Gambas" by Sreenadh Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a bit like Visual Basic? (but it is NOT a clone !). With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with QT or GTK+, access MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, ODBC and SQLite databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into any language, create network applications easily, make 3D OpenGL applications, make CGI web applications, and so on... Technical Presentation 2 : "Openoffice Basics " by Venkat. A small introduction to Openoffice to get you started. Will discuss mainly about Openoffice Writer and Calc. We will have our usual Q&A Session after the Technical Presentation. Looking forward to all your participation for the meeting.
