Good afternoon, Forrest,

I've messed with linux for a long time and I'm a programmer. I'm mostly
using it for music composition/recording personally. I'm also really into
teaching myself hardware design and low level programming. I've messed
with microcontrollers a bunch, and I'm programming sega genesises now,
building synthesizers, and I want to build a homebrew/single board
computer.
I'm definitely down to check out some of the get togethers I see happen
from time to time on here - I'm also interested in sharing my knowledge
and connecting with others around nerdy stuff.
Welcome, Forrest!
Given your interest in music, I wanted to make sure you at least
knew about tonight's DLSLUG (Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee Linux User's Group)
meeting in Hanover, NH:
[meeting is in Haldeman 041]
***************************************************************
Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Linux User Group

a chapter of GNHLUG - http://gnhlug.org
***************************************************************
The next regular monthly meeting of DLSLUG will be held:
Thursday, September 2nd, 7-9PM

All are welcome, free of charge.
Agenda
5:30 Pre-meeting dinner at EBA's. RSVP and bring cash.

7:20 Building a Sheet Music Publishing Platform
presented by Dan Grover
This talk will show how open source software (specifically
GNU Lilypond and a python backend) was used in the creation
of Etude, a sheet music reader for iOS tablet devices. It
will also touch on the ways closed and open source developers
can work together, and finally, how proprietary formats
threaten the growth of electronic sheet music.
Dan Grover grew up in the Upper Valley, studied Computer
Science at Northeastern University, and moved to San
Francisco to build the software startup that made Etude.
8:50 New York Minute
By popular request: bring your ideas, questions, advertisements,
job offers/searches, etc., we'll go 'round the horn and make
