About the event

Monday, Jul 6 2026, 07:00pm Location: Hybrid: BigBlueButton and DC 1568 at Davis Centre Library Chris Nicoll will discuss the Elixir programming language. She writes:Elixir is a functional language that runs on the Erlang VM. It's rumoured to make small teams extra-productive. It specializes in fault tolerance and concurrency, and as such, it's at home in distributed systems. Elixir is still a niche language -- but with the current explosion in, ahem, interacting automated systems, is it about to have its day? I'm no computer scientist, but I like Elixir. I'm going to try to develop a defensible opinion on that question and present it to you.A number of KWLUG members will show off their homelabs and some uses they have found for them:Marc Peppin will tell us about some subset of his six servers, two workstations, three laptops, networking gear but no partridge in a pear treeAnne DeCusatis will tell us about their collections of Raspberry Pis and a Nintendo Wii running NetBSDMikalai Birukou will share some notes on hardware, computing, ergonomics setups, and uncommon elementsThayen Burtenshaw and Spencer Hughes will show off some of their gearElsewhereLumaLinkedin
