Greetings!

Please join us for our last meeting of the year which will be on Thursday, May 2nd in building 6-227 during 12:00 - 12:50 PM (U-Hour). We will be presenting a workshop on using Vagrant + Virtualbox to quickly create custom Linux VMs for cross-platform collaboration. Vagrant is an open-source virtualization framework that allows development teams to build for a Unix/Linux based production environment while still using their main Operating System/editor/workflows of choice. You don’t need any prior knowledge of any of the tools that will be used but if you would like to follow along we do ask that you please download and install Virtualbox + Virtualbox extensions, Git Bash (for Windows users) and Vagrant before the meeting. Please contact me via email or on Discord if you have any problems with these installs. As always we will have free food and this week we will have Round Table Pizza!
