January 2026 Events

January 17, 2026 Linux Talks @Burnaby Public Library
Topic: Linux App Development
Speakers: Felicitas P and Violet
Description: Violet and Felicitas will give an introduction and tutorial on how to
write apps for modern Linux devices. Both major ecosystems (GNOME and
KDE) will be covered. For GNOME, Felicitas will develop and example app
from scratch. Violet will then develop the same application using the KDE ecosystem.
Outcome: By the end of the talk, the audience will get a handout with links to
the applications both of us wrote, as well as all the links to the
things we’ve covered. Any developer in the audience will hopefully walk
away with a working knowledge of how to write their own applications,
while regular Linux users will get a deeper understanding of how the
apps that they use on a daily basis work.
