Debian 13 presentation

With Debian 13 (Trixie) in development, I am now working on updating my previous presentation to reflect updates in the new release.

Early days yet, but I will share updates in due course.

Fediverse Presentation.

This is early work in progress. A few years ago, I made a presentation to help promote Mastodon social network. As this is part of the Fediverse, it is much preferred to refer to the Fediverse rather than individual services that make it up so I have created a new presentation to focus on explaining what the Fediverse is.

I can't cover all the services, but have mentioned the services I am using.

It is in open document format, or in this case LibreOffice Impress (.odp), and also in Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Hopefully it is of interest and of use, feel free to modify to your needs.

If you want the old Mastodon Presentation then it can be found on Salsa gitlan here

Debian Presentation updated

I have updated my Debian Presentation again for Bookworm (Debian 12). This has been pushed to the salsa repository.

I compiled this with

pdflatrex DebianBookwormPresentationMay2021.tex

Hopefully this is useful. Information mostly based on the release notes but also on other sources. In general I am on IRC as zleap so can be found on both OFTC and Libera.chat. I am also on fedi as zleap ( @zleap@qoto.org )

Debian 12 Presentation update

Now that the release notes are available for the next release of the Debian Operating system. I have started to update the presentation that I have been maintaining for the past few releases.

I am also taking some parts of this out and replacing with more technical information. The slides can easily be moved around. added or removed.

How I Make Presentations Using LaTeX & Beamer

How I Make Presentations Using LaTeX & Beamer

This was posted to the Overleaf LinkedIn feed, so sharing here. The video covers how to make presentations that contain mathematical notation.

Bullseye Presentation

A few years ago, I found that there was not an up-to-date presentation for the upcoming release of Debian at the time. I therefore set about creating one.

This is now an ongoing project, my personal remit is to keep this updated by researching information about the upcoming release(s) of Debian. The next release is Debian 11 (Bullseye) as this is now frozen then I am working on the update.

Presentation is in Beamer, which is a LaTeX package for creating presentations. I am however using Overleaf to create the document.

I am on IRC (oftc) as zleap if anyone wants to discuss further. I will also be at the DebConf Planning meeting on the 24th.

Astronify Review

Just watched the latest Space Telescope Science Institute lecture, mentioned in a blog post from 10/11/2020

The full lecture title was

Hearing The Light: How Sonification Deepens our Understanding of the Cosmos and Makes Astronomy More Accessible

This talk was really interesting, it covered how data from astronomy can be presented in an audible way, rather than as a graph on a screen or paper for example.

Why would this be important ?

Well, for most people, visual data can be seen by the eyes, if you are blind or partially sited, this this data is in accessible to you.

One of the examples given is the light curve from a star transit, this may look as follows

------             --------
      |            |
      |            |
      |            |                     
      --------------

So this, would illustrate, how the light from a star, drops when a planet passes in front of the host star.

If we were to express this audibly then the curve would start off as one tone then drop to a lower tone and go back up to the original higher tone.

This makes astronomy more accessible. It is also another way to represent data from Kepler and TESS telescopes.

The lecture explains this far better, but from the Q/A session we learn that this can be found in every day life.

The lecture emphasises that sonification is not about recording existing sound we could hear. So a microphone under water to record sound from sea life is NOT Sonification, however I think they suggested that turning non audible sound to audible sound IS an example, Other given examples, included star flares, which again can be represented. Once you know what to listen for, it helps us confirm the data further.

The team has a website at https://astronify.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ but I would recommend watching the video first.
