Am Samstag den 5. September 2015 ab 15 Uhr freut sich shackspace einen Workshop zur Programmierung in Nix anbieten zu können.
Nix ist eine rein funktionale Programmiersprache welche z.B. in NixOS zur Systembeschreibung verwendet wird. Nix kann aber auch unter Mac OSX oder anderen POSIX-Systemen verwendet werden um, analog zu homebrew, zusätzliche Software zu verwalten.
Der Workshop ist als betreutes Programmieren aufgebaut und wird an 30 Fragestellungen die folgenden Punkte behandeln:
Achtung: wer im Nix programmieren Workshop auf dem CCCamp2015 dabei war: der Fragenkatalog wurde wesentlich erweitert und Wiederholung schadet auch nicht
Zum Event:
Eintritt frei! (Spenden an shack e.V. sind gerne gesehen) Jeder ist willkommen!
Datum: Samstag, 5. September 2015, ab 15 Uhr
Anfahrt: U4/U9 Haltestelle “Im Degen”, Ulmer Straße 255, Stuttgart Wangen (gegenüber Kulturhaus Arena)

Today’s featured project is a splendid example of library + community collaboration at Edinburgh Central Library in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Interactive Art Trail, for which masters students from the Edinburgh College of Art were invited to create new works based on their investigations of collections in the Central Library, closes on August 31st.
With the advent of e-books and online resources such as Amazon and Kindle, there is much speculation about the significance of traditional libraries in the electronic age. While libraries must incorporate technology to compete with their online counterparts, we cannot discount the tactile nature of public libraries that cannot be re-created on screen. Libraries are often home to rare books, prints and manuscripts and unlike a museum the public has access to these artefacts which is an interaction that no scan or image can recreate. To celebrate this aspect of a traditional library, the 15 postgraduate graphic design and illustration students will be creating artistic interventions around the main public areas of the Central Library building to encourage audiences to explore the collections.
The exhibition is being filmed from conception to fruition and can be viewed by audiences through following a trail. There will be physical and virtual methods of viewing. All the works are being created by the post graduate students of the Edinburgh College of Art specifically for the Central Library; some will be collaborative and others solo workings. – Project Aims & Objectives
The project’s emphasis on exploration, investigation, and creative inspiration, not to mention its use of the library as a gallery space for the finished works, makes the Art Trail a truly inspiring example of a library-incubated project.

Even if you cannot go to the Central Library and explore the Interactive Art Trail in person, I strongly encourage you to wander through the online gallery on the project’s website.

As many of you may be aware, we’ve been thinking long and hard about running game nights in Tog for a while now. You may have even played a few games with us at one of our open socials, but finally the stars have aligned and we’re now running a regular Board Game Night on the first Friday of the month 6:30 to 10:30pm starting from THIS FRIDAY, 4th September.
The basic concept of Board Game Night is that once per month a game is selected as the main focus of the night, and we’ll try to get a few copies of the game (when possible) so that everyone that comes can play and enjoy that game. It wont always be possible to have multiple copies, so we will have other similarly themed games going on simultaneously when that’s not possible.
For our first night, we’re kicking off with Splendor as our main game of choice. We will of course have others available including Small World, Ticket to Ride, Boss Monster and others should we get a big group enough together.
“Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you’re wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.” BoardGameGeek
