VIM

Individuals who are unwilling to spend the necessary time with “vi” and or “vim” will many times assign a Dirty Word to it’s name. However, if one is willing to spend the necessary time with the visual editor, they will quickly learn it is one of the most powerful utilities packaged in every UNIX and or Linux operating system today. The short presentation will cover why everyone should learn this character based editor, its 3 modes of operation, some of the major differences between vi and vim and the basics of creating, modifying and saving text files.

As a result of the restart meeting we will now be meeting on last Tuesday of every month at Southwest Tennessee Community College Macon Campus (a special thanks to the STCC for taking the meetings on as a sponsored event).

In addition the Committee to review GOLUM’s existing by-laws and structure consists of:

• Jim Greer (Founder)
• Brian Scurlock
• Richard Shaw
• Wayne Morris
• Rob Mitchell

See everyone on September 28th!

Thu Aug 19, 7-9 PM CST

Location:

• Southwest Tennessee Community College (Map)
• Fulton Building; Room 400 (Auditorium)

Agenda:

• 7:00 – Called to order
• 7:00-7:20 - Brief introductions by attendees (name, workplace, nature of interest in Linux, Open Source, Free Culture and related themes; no speeches, just brief introductions please)
• 7:20-7:30 - Historical overview of the group by a founder or designee
• 7:30-7:45 - Appoint a committee of 2-5 individuals to review the existing by-laws and organizational structure to report back in one month with any suggested changes (knowing the folks who set up the group I imagine that the original founding documents are probably pretty solid and won’t leave a lot of work to do).  Anyone willing to be nominated please speak up on the list prior to the meeting – hopefully the committee will emerge and all we have to do at the meeting is recognize those who are willing to step up.
• 7:45-8:30 - Presentation by Scott Dowdle.
• 8:30 – Meeting adjourned
