Summary
Learn Zim: The Free Replacement for Evernote and Solution to Chaos in Your Life
Abstract
Zim (http://zim-wiki.org) [zim-wiki.org] is a desktop wiki and a wonderful piece of free software that competes well with proprietary alternatives like Evernote.
As we get ready to head into 2014, why not use Zim to bring some order to our lives? Zim can be used as a topic-based notebook, organizer, document editor, journal, collection manager, and more.
We're fortunate to have Brendan Kidwell as our speaker. Brendan will start his talk with an introduction to Zim, followed by an overview of use cases, with a series of short demos about solving particular problems like:
- task tracking
- diary
- drafting a paper
- making a web site
- syncing notebooks across computers
and more!
Based on audience interest, Brendan can also answer questions about his experience building a Windows installer for the app and contributing to this free software project.
