This month we have three speakers and 4 presentations.


"Introduction to Snakemake" - by Raymond Wan

Snakemake is a workflow definition language similar to
Make that is gradually becoming popular in the field of
bioinformatics.  Even so, there is nothing about Snakemake that limits
its use to bioinformatics.  Unlike Make, the Snakemake language is
Python-based.  In this talk, I will introduce Snakemake and provide
examples of how it can be used for data analysis.


"VDO, transparent Linux compression/de-duplication layer"
- by Christian Horn

- Use cases: where can VDO help?
- VDO setup and configuration
- How is VDO influencing read/write performance?
- How much storage space can I save for my use
  cases?


"Linux on the Nintendo Switch" - by Christian Horn

- Why is Linux@nintendo-switch interesting at all,
  what is required to get it running?
- What works, what works not, on various distros?
  What is the Linux installation looking like?
- Demo (will be hard to show it nicely, as HDMI output is not
  working and the internal screen is small)


"Introduction to Matrix, a platform for unified, decentralised, secure
communication" - by Alexey Rusakov

The talk will discuss Matrix (https://www.matrix.org), an open network
for real-time communications. I will describe its main features (servers
federation, end-to-end encryption, bridging) and show what sets Matrix
apart from many other messengers. I'll further talk about how one can
use Matrix to bridge communities across other networks, both proprietary
and open, including IRC, Telegram and Slack. An overview of the
ecosystem and a short demo will conclude the talk.


All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.
