MHVLUG is proud to announce our November meeting:

Typography: Physical Art to Digital Art

Explore the transformation of printing and typography from a distinctly physical art form to a modern digital artform.  Did you know that upper case and lower case are physical locations?  Learn the parts of a letter, and what points, tracking, leading, baselines and kerning are all about.  With that foundation we will explore the transformation of type onto digital media, including a discussion of fonts, formats and tools for type design.

Patrick Ladd is currently the IT Manager at Bottini Fuel.  After hours he's an active Squidwrench member.  He became more interested in typography last year when he acquired his grandfather's letterpress printing shop from a basement in Chicago and is in the process of restoring it to operating condition.

Lightning Talks

  • Clonezilla and Clonezilla Server - Matthias Johnson
  • ZNC - irc proxy server - Sean Dague
  • Sign up for some!

The meeting space opens up at 5pm for pre meeting general discussion, question asking, show and tell, and setup. All are welcome to join. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting.

The meeting will take place at Rockefeller Hall 200, Vassar College on Wednesday, November 7th at 6 pm.

All meetings are free and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed.

For more details, including maps and directions, please see the meeting page.
