[18:34:45] <theblazehen> https://blog.exploitee.rs/2017/hacking_wd_mycloud/ was hacked, so if you're running a WD cloud NAS patch it or something
[18:35:10] <theblazehen> I found https://www.cronweekly.com/ which is a weekly newsletter of interesting stuff
[18:35:38] <theblazehen> http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty/ if you ever wanted to know how terminals barely work

[18:40:57] <chesedo> Maaz: topic Education Project
[18:40:57] <Maaz> Current Topic: Education Project
[18:41:19] <chesedo> my update here would be the same as yesterday...
[18:41:44] * chesedo had a hectic day so have not looked at getting the sass issue solved yet...
[18:42:05] <chesedo> williamk: do you have a specific update?
[18:42:25] <chesedo> or maybe found another software to consider?
[18:43:04] <chesedo> also my 2 cents for only office, it looks great too but might be more of a general office suite...
[18:43:14] <williamk> Hi Chesedo, same as yesterday, Booktype, Pubsweet or OnlyOffice
[18:43:36] <chesedo> although it has project planning build in
[18:43:44] <williamk> Only Office, from what I read can do collab editing
[18:43:59] <chesedo> williamk: and that...
[18:44:26] <chesedo> williamk: i guess our next step is to try and get an instance of each up to test which will work best?
[18:45:13] <williamk> https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/onlyoffice-editors/onlyoffice-document-editor/helpfulhints/collaborativeediting.aspx
[18:46:11] <chesedo> wow, quite powerful
[18:48:17] <chesedo> oh, chat and comments are only features of the paid version...
[18:48:53] <chesedo> any else anyone wants to add?
[18:49:04] <williamk> Pubsweet is still being worked on, don't know when final release will happen https://gitlab.coko.foundation/pubsweet/pubsweet
[18:50:00] <chesedo> williamk: yip, thu it looks promising
[18:50:16] <chesedo> it is the one that i am having sass issue with currently...
[18:50:43] <chesedo> and for booktype, i have to figure why it is not serving css and js files...
[18:51:43] 
[18:51:54] <williamk> I have installed Booktype locally ( access with IP, but could not get the export to PDF working
[18:52:16] <williamk> could not get Pubsweet working
[18:52:16] <chesedo> oh yeah, that too
[18:52:39] * chesedo hopes that won't be a big issue on his side too...
[18:53:48] <chesedo> hmm... that seems to be all then...
[18:54:03] <chesedo> thank you all for joining...
[18:54:08] <chesedo> Maaz: end meeting
