[EdLUG] Meeting Thursday

[Tai Kedzierski]

Hi all,

This week's meeting is a talk, appropriately title to its topic:

*'\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}' : how I learned a language (almost)
overnight*

Jean-Louis will be giving us an insight into learning languages, both human
(Portuguese) and programmatic (*LaTeX*), with the later including some *LaTeX
*demos.


*LaTeX *is a popular language for formatting scientific papers and
publications, often used in academia. Most scientific disciplines require
passing familiarity, if not outright expertise, in the language, with some
academic panels refusing papers not compiled with the language, and thus
sometimes necessary for obtaining a scientific degree.

Portuguese is the language of Portugal. You do not require Portuguese
fluency to graduate in Edinburgh. But it gets you friends and widens
horizons ;-)


The meeting will be in the back room of the Southsider Pub, West Richmond
Street, Edinburgh. The talk should kick off shortly after 7:30pm. After the
talk, there will be time for socializing, with light bites and a chance to
catch up with attendees.


See you there!

Tai
