Developer meetups

Talks:

• Diverting gitlab use: creating a quick team Welcome Guide, Clémentine Fourrier (ALMANACH) gitlab wiki functionality is easy to use and edit directly in the web interface. Everything is in markdown. Advanced users can clone the wiki repo and use git.
• i3 Windows Manager, Yann Labbé (WILLOW), slides
• How to manage a Mattermost instance for your research team chat, Pedro Ortiz-Suarez (ALMANACH). Managing your own Mattermost instance is an alternative to the free Slack plan. To install Mattermost, go to https://mattermost.com/download/ and make sure to download the Open Source Team Edition. One important setting is to restrict the maximum size of the attachmed files (see this for more details). During the discussion, it was mentioned that Inria IT was planning to deploy a Mattermost Inria instance with some flexibility for inviting non Inria people. In principle, the Inria Mattermost instance should be deployed around April 2020.

• When and how to make a DSL?, Denis Merigoux (PROSECCO), slides
• Windows Subsystem for Linux, Yasuyuki Tanaka (EVA), TBC

Bonus: Yasuyuki Tanaka would have liked to give a talk about Windows Subsystem for Linux before leaving Inria. Unfortunately, he cannot come for this meetup due to personal reasons, but he was kind enough to offer us his slides: pdf, pptx.
