=3D=3D Details =3D=3D

The purpose of Manchester Free Software is to promote the Free Software
philosophy.

Every meeting we start with an opportunity for informal key signing.
For an explanation of what this is about see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party


=3D=3D=3D Talk =3D=3D=3D

The main part of the meeting will be a talk with free discussion on the
topic.

Source code is what free software is written in but, for much of this
software, it needs to be turned into a form that a computer can run by a
process known as compiling.

This talk will cover compiling, both from a theoretical and practical
perspective, including (but not limited to):

* GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
* ./configure -> make -> make install
* Reproducible Builds
* Compiler efforts to deal with the Spectre vulnerability

If you want to follow along then bring a laptop with GCC and GNU Make
(aka make) installed.  For Debian (and derivatives) then this can be
achieved by installing `build-essential`:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/build-essential

Attending this talk will ensure greater benefit from next month's talk
on GNU/Linux From Scratch.

More information:

* https://gcc.gnu.org/
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configure_script
* https://reproducible-builds.org/
* http://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/

If you have experience of compiling then please consider giving a
lightning talk at the meeting.


=3D=3D Event Planning =3D=3D

Software Freedom Day in Manchester 2018 is on Saturday, 15th September.

=3D=3D After-meeting =3D=3D

The formal meeting will be followed by informal discussion and
socialising in Madlab.


=3D=3D Location =3D=3D

The meeting will take place at the usual venue of Madlab, details above.


=3D=3D Transport =3D=3D


=3D=3D=3D Parking =3D=3D=3D

Around the venue there are parking meter bays that become zero cost
after 8pm on Tuesday so you will have to pay up until then and the
maximum stay is 2 hours BUT MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY ALL THIS on parking.

There are paid parking lots around the venue, they are marked by a blue
P in this OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.4843/-2.2365>.  Most of those
parking lots are owned by NCP <http://www.ncp.co.uk/>.

If you can=E2=80=99t decide otherwise then park in Manchester Arndale
<https://www.manchesterarndale.com/visiting/directions>.


=3D=3D=3D Public Transport =3D=3D=3D

Manchester Victoria (MCV) train station, Shudehill tram and bus station,
and Manchester Piccadilly bus station are all fairly close to Madlab,
see OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.4843/-2.2365>.

Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) train station and Manchester Central Coach
Station are not too far away either.
