During the meeting, I mentioned a number of items that required links to be posted. Here are the items and links:

• The presentation I did for OCLUG on using a Rapberry Pi as a PBX DropBox Link
• I talked about VOIP.ms as a DID and service provider. Links are also in the presentation as well
• Modern publishing - I ran across this on the O’Reilly website. I’m not sure if it is of interest to anyone here, however the implications are quite interesting for anyone who wants to publish in the future.

At O’Reilly Media, as we work on transitioning to an XHTML5-source workflow (which will be the cornerstone of the next release of our Atlas publishing platform), we have posted an open source project on GitHub called HTMLBook. The HTMLBook project contains an XML Schema that subsets the HTML5 content model to provide specifications for book-specific semantics, such as chapters, appendixes, and sidebars. Additionally, it contains a sample CSS stylesheet for styling HTML5 content for PDF output using CSS3 Paged Media, and XSL tools for autogenerating book navigation elements including tables of contents, indexes, and cross-references, as well as generating the necessary metadata and package files for EPUB 3 output. We look forward to continued collaboration around the development of HTML5 authoring tools for publishers.

October: September revisit

Given we had such a small turnout at the last meeting, I’m going to reuse the topics.

As mentioned for last month, we are now a LOPSA local, so anyone showing up this month gets a few LOPSA stickers, compliments of LOPSA and Matt Simmons. I haven’t had a chance to get started on the re-branding of the site yet, but that will be completed before the November meeting, so I can start year 15 with a new look. In celebration, I’ll buy the coffee and snacks for the meeting.
