Linux command line basics for beginners (and hackers!)

Guided exploration of the Linux server command line

Aimed at absolute beginners. We'll show how to securely connect to a server then we'll work through Bandit, an adventure game set in the command line that progresses step-by-step from the basics to common programs and beyond.

This will be an in-person event in the quiet lounge of the newly refurbished Avalon bar, just next to Mitchell Library at Charing Cross.

I'll work through the challenges on the big screen and explain what I'm doing as well all work together though the levels. Join in and play along or feel free to work on your own thing (setting up a server, coding etc) and someone there should be able to assist you if needed.

As always, remember to check out our open source chatroom on Matrix at #opensource:glasgow.social (sign up at https://matrix.glasgow.social if you don't have your own homeserver).

The event is free, but there will be a donation tin to cover the meetup costs if you'd like to help out.

Open source 3D game development with Godot for beginners

This event will show you how to get started creating basic 3D games. It will be more of a workshop format - there will be a demo on a big screen and you'll be able to work alongside me as we show the ins and outs of the software but you'll be encouraged to group up and try some challenges together (or work on your own and ask for help if needed - whatever suits!)

This, as usual, is a very information event in the lounge of the Avalon bar. Come have a beer (or a coffee!) with us and see how easy it can be to create your very own first person shooter!

Open Source Glasgow: Setting up a web server from scratch

Informal and relaxed meeting in the quiet lounge of Avalon bar on Kent Road. You'll need a laptop to take part (but feel free to just observe if you'd prefer).

We'll show you how to get up and running with a basic web server (Amazon EC2, Ubuntu Linux, Apache, MySQL) and how to securely connect to it.

The plan is to run something like this every month to get people up and running with basic web development and system admin.

Whatever your level - you are very welcome to come along. We'll find some time to answer questions and if you are able to help newcomers with any issues they might have, all the better!
