The spring cycle of the Feminist Linux Meetup continues! Every first Wednesday of the month until summer. Check out the rest of the dates and topics too: Save the dates – meetup cycle 2026
On March 4, we will dive into LaTeX, a pretty fancy document preparation system that is widely used in scientific, math and technical writing. After a short history and exploration of use cases, we will learn the very basics to setup our first document and explore more of LaTeXs features. It will be a choose-your-own-adventure kind of workshop that may take you into different directions depending on your experience and interest.
We will be working with https://www.overleaf.com, a LaTeX online editor. If you want to actively participate in the workshop, please create an account there and bring your own computer.

Location information
We will meet at Vordere Zollamtstraße 7, in the semainr room 24 (Seminarraum 24) on ground floor. The room is in a building of the University of Applied Arts next to Wien Mitte / The Mall, here on the map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176477793
On the Angewandte barrier-free page you find all infos on accessibility of the building and how to get there. If you have any specific questions regarding the location, or you would like to meet someone in front of the building, to guide you to the room, please contact us in time.
(*) Invitation policy and social conduct
The meetup (and workshop) is open to all women*, non-binary*, inter*, and trans* people, who are interested to talk about Linux and related topics. In this case, non-binary does mean that you neither fully identify as „woman“ or „man“. It does not mean, that you only programme in fuzzy-logic and don’t use binary numbers. This would of course be fantasticly queer, but believe us, our computers also work with binary code most of the time.
With the * we mark certain words to point to the fact, that all these categories are socially constructed. That means, that they do not exist „in nature“, but that we humans interpret nature in this specific way. Therefore it is also legitimate, that people choose these categories for themselves in a way that best fits them. If that unsettles you or you want to know more about it, take a look at our article on invitation policy: https://feminist-linux.diebin.at/invitation-policy/
Beyond that, we want to create an atmosphere and environment that is encouraging everyone. To do so, we created a Code of Conduct, that describes what we all can do, that no one has to be uncomfortable: https://feminist-linux.diebin.at/code-of-conduct/
In order for everyone to feel really welcome and accepted though, we want to be actively aware and foster a social environment that we describe here: https://feminist-linux.diebin.at/social-framework/
