You’re invited to join next Wednesday, August 10th, 15:00 CEST (UTC+2)

at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke

ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome!

There will be no meet-up in September (since it would be during the 
ConTeXt meeting); and then on October 12th.



(Same blurb as every time:)

[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers should 
work (WebRTC required).

* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the 
audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or 
camera with the buttons at the bottom.

* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right.

* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make 
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, 
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; 
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware 
there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation.


[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).

* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on 
your side, e.g. with mobile connections.

* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.

* BigBlueButton documentation applies: 
https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/


[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable 
with anonymous lurkers.

* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

See you, Hraban

I actually never really looked into the nodes module, but I guess that 
would work.


There is a simple LaTeX / plain TeX package [1] for this but I don't 
know if the plain TeX version works with ConTeXt.

That is advertised as “like Windows Explorer”, so I expected folder and 
file icons, but it makes quite ugly lines with square nodes.
Line drawing glyphs look better IMO, and the MP nodes module is probably 
even better, but I need to try...

There is a Metapost/Context module for drawing flow charts that 
should handle this nicely.


If that’s still the same module that I know, then I don’t think it’s 
suitable (too much fixed on a grid).


There is also a Metapost module for drawing relational charts 
("nodes") that could be another approach.


I actually never really looked into the nodes module, but I guess that
