SIG-Computing Topic:  Declutter Your Digital Life

Presented by Judy Taylour

You spend a lot of money on your equipment – learn to optimize your devices to make them last longer and help you be more productive. Digital clutter slows down your computer over time and routine device decluttering is necessary for top performance. Judy’s presentation will show you how you can declutter your digital life and be more organized to work faster and smarter and less stressed.

SIG-Linux Topic: Modicia  

Presented by Sharan Kalwani

In the world of Linux distros, there are so many to choose from. As a multimedia enthusiast, Modicia appealed to me, as it is built by web designers for web site builders. In the case of Modicia O.S., it’s basically for multimedia users, but it’s suitable for everyone. This Linux distro is the brainchild of an Italy-based community. The distro is mostly a general purpose computing platform that works just out of the box. The operating system is based on Xubuntu and also features the mid-weight Xfce with more spice. They call the desktop environment Anabolized Xfce – a greatly modified version of Xfce4.
