Stl Linux Unix Users Group

The Stl Linux Unix Users Group holds regular meetings with technical presentations and discussions. Our topics frequently involve Unix, Unix-like Operating Systems, Linux, BSD, and other Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) applications, products, projects and services. All of our meetings are free and open to the public.

STLLUG - November 21, 2024

Design an image for a blog post about Bash scripting: Start with a dark gradient background, transitioning from dark blue at the bottom to black at the top. At the center, incorporate an image of a symbolic penguin, indicative of the Linux and Unix ecosystems. To the left, feature the Bash logo. Around the image, integrate symbols representing command-line elements such as arrows, brackets, and underscores. Overlay text lines resembling a script with highlighted sections to denote parsing. Introduce sleek lines, converging towards the Bash logo from various directions to depict data flow and parsing logic. Accentuate these lines with small, glowing, blurred dots representing dynamic data processing. The color accents should be shades of green, resembling the aesthetic of old-school Unix systems. The goal is to embody the processes of script automation and argument parsing in a visually engaging manner.

SLUUG - November 13, 2024

A high tech image capturing the theme of containerization technology. Feature a gradient background blending shades of blue and green for a modern feel. Place a network of interlocking, transparent 3D cubes, indicative of digital containers in the center. Highlight a generic open-source project logo, slightly embossed, occupying the center position while giving reference to a well-known open source whale logo subtly on one side, slightly faded but still visible. Incorporate the logo of a system daemon, seamlessly integrated within the intricate network design. Add motorways of circuits connecting these logos and elements, illustrating their interaction. Place discreet icons resembling security shields around the image to symbolize enhanced security features.

STLLUG - October 17, 2024

Create a visually appealing image for a blog post titled 'Automated Code Review'. Background should be a subtle gradient from a soft teal to a dark navy blue to represent the levels of complexity in automated code review processes. Overlay an abstract digital grid or circuit board pattern, symbolizing the mechanisms of code review. Incorporate logos of ESLint, Prettier, SonarQube, and Travis CI or Jenkins, using appropriate metaphoric embellishments to signify their roles. Add an abstract code snippet flowing through a funnel or pipeline to denote transformation from raw to refined code. Use grid-like highlights or light beams for emphasis and maintain a color scheme of teal, navy blue, light grey and white with vibrant accents of yellow or green to represent success.

SLUUG - October 9, 2024

Imagine an image that captures control and command within BASH. The background is a dimly lit yet sleek computer terminal screen in dark shades, representative of Unix/Linux environments at work. The Bash logo, a stylized 'B,' resides in the top left corner of the image. Surrounding the logo are petite symbols of 'play,' 'pause,' 'stop,' and 'list' - like you would see on media control panels. Along the bottom edge, silhouettes of gears and cogs subtly reside to depict control and management. There's a soft light trail that arcs through the icons and plunges into the background, illustrating the concept of seamless process flow and management. The color scheme contains predominantly black, green, and blue hues, reminiscent of classic terminal colors, and a soft glow around icons and edges for a modern touch.

Create an image portraying a conclusion between the modern terminal tools - KiTTY and WezTerm. Place the KiTTY logo on the left and the WezTerm logo on the right, against a neutral gradient background of dark blues and greys, exuding a high-tech feel. Between these logos, include a faint VS symbol to represent the contrast. Complete the image with a subtle representation of a technological terminal interface in the backdrop highlighting colorful lines of code, tabs, and panes. Include small icons, featuring images, multiple tabs, panes, and SSH symbols, scattered around both logos within the lower half of the image, outlining their modern features.

SLUUG - September 11, 2024

Create a tech-themed image that beautifully blends professionalism and modernism. In the core focus, generate two distinct, non-specific tech professionals standing beside each other with a subtle binary code pattern in the background to reflect their technological brilliance. On top, centrally place a friendly penguin to symbolize Linux. Surround it with symbols like a lock or shield signifying security, a small conference logo, a logo representing a popular version control system, and a small microphone icon near the central figures for speeches. To intertwine these elements, create thin, glowing circuit lines spreading from the central figures and logos, forming a network pattern to reflect the interconnected world of technology. Utilize hues of dark blue, white, with delicate accents of yellow or light orange to convey intellect, trust, and innovation. This image represents the anticipation and richness of an upcoming presentation on Linux, open-source security, and other related themes.
