SGVLUG Meeting Subject:Emacs, Nix and Emacs+Nix! (Speaker: John Wiegley)

This meeting will be on-line via Zoom (see link below)
Talk Summary:This will be a live coding session diving into the basics of the Nix language and package manager, how John uses Nix to build up an Emacs environment on a macOS system, and then a tour of some of John's most-used Emacs packages he's installed in that environment.
Speaker Bio:John Wiegley has been writing software professionally for 34 years: 29 of those using Emacs, and 8 years using Nix. He's written many different packages for Emacs over the years, served as the Emacs maintainer for a couple of years, and has been active in the open source community for a long while. His background was initially in compilers and debuggers, though he has spent most of the last decade in functional languages and formal verification.

About the SGVLUG:The SGVLUG is one of the oldest and most active Linux User Groups in the Greater Los Angeles area. In addition to Linux, the group also shares interests in other free and open source software, all forms of technology, and the discussion of issues that arise with these new tools, such as privacy rights. 
The SGVLUG attracts members from throughout LA County including Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and eastward throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Our members include software developers, system administrators, hardware engineers, and software users of all levels of expertise. Many work in the technology field as employees, contractors or consultants, and enjoy the learning and networking opportunities available from the group. We also have many members that serve as volunteers of their time and skills at various local events, including the annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE).
