Interactive Fiction at PVD Geeks

The Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation (IFTF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 2016. It supports technologies and services that enable the ongoing play, creation, and study of interactive fiction (IF), which we broadly define as text-centric digital games and related work. This includes games in the style of classic text adventures, more experimental hypertext work, and everything in between and beyond.

At this month's Providence Geeks, IFTF's co-founder and current president, Jason McIntosh, provides a general introduction to IFTF, its public-service programs, and the various opportunities it offers for public participation, including the IF Archive, a 25-year-old repository of collected and curated digital art; the Annual IF Competition, the world's oldest ongoing online independent game festival; Twine, a toolkit for creating dynamic hypertexts; and more!

PLEASE NOTE:

We'll have some demos of IF that you can try out, and please come a little early (by 5:30) to join a group playthrough of Admiral Jota’s “Lost Pig”, which won the IF Competition in 2007.

AS220's restaurant is undergoing renovations, so the restaurant will not be open. There will be a pop-up bar, though. Please feel free to eat before you arrive, or bring your own food and eat there. There are lots of takeout/delivery options downtown.

Password Cracking and Analysis!

Let's talk about passwords. We'll take a look at how to crack them, things to look for, tips, tricks for using hashcat. We'll also talk about the passwords our users choose when given a set of rules. How should we create our password policy in a way that will make the enterprise more secure against password guessing and cracking.
We'll also be looking for presenters for future meetings, so if you got something, offer it up!

Code & Coffee (Bring Laptop!)

Do you like coding with friends? Like really great coffee? Come out to GDI's Code & Coffee!

Code and Coffee is an opportunity for you to work on your own projects, continue practicing what you've been learning, and meet others who share your interests. Bring your laptop, your recent projects, and your programming problems and questions.

This is also a great event for first time attendees who just want to socialize or find out more about coding in general. We're very friendly and would love to have you join us. :)

If you have a project idea and some skills, but haven’t attended a GDI event yet? Want to focus on helping others with their projects? You're welcome too!

Don't worry if you don't have a project already started. This could be an opportunity to find one.

As a group, we’ll hold each other accountable for completing our projects, and provide on-going support and feedback.

We know that it can be intimidating to come to a meet-up when you don't know anyone, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! : ) 

Feel free to come by for the whole thing or drop in when you have time.

Don't forget to bring your laptop and charger if you have one!

All attendees are expected to abide by the Girl Develop It code of conduct.

Intro to Gelatin Printing

Let's explore Gelatin Printing!

Gelatin printing is a printing method that allows for capturing both positive and negative prints off of a slice of gelatin (think stiff jello or knox blocks). Using found objects, we'll be able to create prints with interesting depth and textures.

This class can be a bit messy, please dress appropriately and we'll have aprons available. This class is kid friendly, however younger participants must also have a parent/guardian in attendance at all times.

Participants are encouraged to bring flat, thin "found items" that they don't mind getting paint on. Things like feathers, leaves, paper shapes, bits of fabric - things with interesting textures.

Tickets for the class are $30 - you will be able to make multiple prints during the class and go home with your gelatin tablet for more printing fun at home.

Please purchase tickets in advance: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intro-to-gelatin-printing-tickets-54838936736
