[SFS] Small Is Beautiful

[David L. Willson]

Due to low enrollment, I'm cancelling this SIB. I'll put up a half day of hacking and see if that goes better.

I have 3 teachers for small is beautiful: Jeff Haemer, Chris Fedde, and me. 

Jeff is teaching "Simple Truth". I want to tell you about it, but I don't want to spoil it, so I won't. Come to this session. It's going to be great. 

Chris is teaching DNS for high availability. Do you want your website to be highly available, but you don't have half a million dollars for proxying gear? Come to this session. It's also going to be great. And, if you're like I was, it's going to blow your doors off. 

I'm teaching RegEx Basics. Do want to find Dan and David, but not Dern or Din? Noodles, but not needles? Do you need to save the world by finding "something that looks like an IP address"? Are you having trouble sleeping? 

I still need two more teachers. Come give us a quick sample of your amazing teaching by teaching us a tiny bit about your favorite thing.

I moved the next Small Is Beautiful to 8/17. I still need teachers. I will do one section myself. 

Here are the half-baked ideas I have for my section: 
- Hello Worlds: bash, C, Python, JavaScript 
- How to use cron, Ansible, and GitLab to let users maintain their own authorized keys 
- How to use bash string processing to change or remove filename extentions 
- RegEx Fundamentals: ^ bol, $ eol, [:space:] character-classes, (this|that|theotherthing) alternation, [aeiouy] sets, with sed or grep 
- A free-libre game: Lugaru, Aleph One, Wyrmsun, or whatever 

Do any of them sound intersting? 

I want *you* to teach a small unit of one hour or less! 

LMK if you prefer to be asked *individually*, rather than as a list-member. 

LMK if you want to do this, but you haven't been to SFS Method yet. 

SIB is a *great* time to try something weird, a great time to teach to other teachers to get particularly insightful constructive feedback, and a great time to practice delivering troublesome units from larger classes.
