SUMMARY:Legacy Beacon Mapping
DESCRIPTION:📍 Legacy Beacon (780 Riverside Dr W) & Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210)👥 In Person Only💲 Free \n\n\n\nRecent changes at Windsor’s riverfront have yet to be replicated in OSM\, so we’re scheduling some time to get it done! Join OpenStreetMap Windsor-Essex on Tuesday\, August 5th for a hands-on learning opportunity that will add pathway and landscape changes for the Legacy Beacon to OSM. Attendees will learn how to collect geodata and how to contribute to OSM. All levels of experience and technical acumen are welcome! \n\n\n\nThis event will take place in TWO PARTS. Join for one or both! \n\n\n\nPart I:\n\n\n\nLocation: Legacy Beacon (780 Riverside Dr W)Time: 5:30 – 6:30 PMActivity: Record GPX traces of the area\, noting the location of paths and other amenities. Bring your data-enabled mobile device with a GPS recording app installed (E.g. GPS Logger for Android\, myTracks on iOS). Alternatively\, you can go the low-tech route and bring a notebook and pen! Both methods will allow you to collect data that can later be added to OSM. Once everyone is on-site\, and before we start data collection\, the group will coordinate who is recording what data. This will help to make sure we have complete coverage\, and that everyone’s work will be included in the final changes. \n\n\n\nWalk back to Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210). This is a walk of roughly 1km that takes about 15 minutes. \n\n\n\nPart II:\n\n\n\nLocation: Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, unit 210)Time: 7 – 8:30 PMActivity: Transferring collected data to OpenStreetMap. Using desktop and browser tools such as JOSM and iD Editor\, we’ll learn how to turn our GPX files and handwritten notes into OSM-compatible data. We’ll also have the chance to see how outdated information (like the old playground) can be changed or removed to better represent the current state of things. Attendees can bring in their own laptop for this part\, or they can use one of Hackforge’s house machines. \n\n\n\nRecommendation! Join the Hackforge Discord to keep in touch with the group through the #openstreetmap-windsor-essex channel. This will be the best way to get updates on where we are at any given time (while we’ll do our best\, it’s not completely impossible that we’ll arrive back at HQ a bit after 7pm). This is also a great way to ask questions ahead of time! \n\n\n\n📆 Tuesday\, August 5th🕦5:30 – 8:30 PM📍Legacy Beacon (780 Riverside Dr W) and Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210)

SUMMARY:LUG: Intro to Containers with Docker
DESCRIPTION:📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210) & Online💻👥 Hybrid💲 Free \n\n\n\nLearn about the technology and techniques that have changed the landscape of modern development. Docker pioneered container management\, a concept that has since morphed into its own standard. \n\n\n\nThe information available in this session will be applicable to Docker and Podman – which is a free\, open source alternative to Docker. \n\n\n\nYou’ll also learn container basics – what containers are\, how to run them\, what images are\, and how to make your own. \n\n\n\nNo previous experience with containerization is required\, but knowledge of the command line is needed. \n\n\n\nAttendees are encouraged to install Docker Desktop or Podman Desktop in advance of the event. This will allow you to follow along and explore the systems as you learn about them. \n\n\n\nWhile this event is being hosted by our Linux Users’ Group\, those using Windows and Mac are also encouraged to attend. The content aims to cover the differences in platforms as much as possible. \n\n\n\nBring your projects and questions! The first hour of the event will be a knowledge dump\, while the second hour will focus on creating your own image and using Docker Compose. \n\n\n\n📆 Tuesday\, August 12🕦7-9 PM📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210) 7 Online via Zoom🎟️RSVP for In-Person attendance below💻Register for virtual attendance via Zoom
