dpkg-buildpackage(1),
which is used to build .deb packages from source.
Gilbert's presentation also gave a tour of the source directory structure,
and how to use quilt to manage patches.
Somewhere between a brief RTFM and a deep-dive presentation,
the one-hour talk attempted to provide the audience with a minimum working set
of tips and techniques to navigate the Debian package build environment.
(The title is a nod to the book Maximum RPM as well as Gilbert's
March 2000 presentation on that topic.)
Gilbert has made his presentation slides, in PDF and PPTX format, available online. Many of the slides contain links in the footnotes to various tutorials, man pages, and other reference material, that Gilbert found useful in learning about Debian builds, and in preparing for this presentation.
We had the usual (brief) round-table session, some time for mingling, eating, and drinking, followed by a couple short presentations, and then more time for mingling, eating, and drinking. Brian Lowe remotely presented his "thought experiment" programming language, called Terbium (so named because it's atomic number is 65, representing the 65 allowed characters in the language, consisting of only alpha-numeric characters and the space character). Then Wyatt Zacharias presented OpenStreetMap, a crowd-sourced database of global map data, available under an open license. Wyatt talked about some of the advantages of OpenStreetMap over other (mostly closed or proprietary) map data sources, including an extensive collection of trail map data. Wyatt also showed the process of adding your own GPS log data in the map editor, and how to submit that for inclusion in OpenStreetMap.

In this month's presentation, Trevor Cordes outlined why you might want to use Linux Firejail, how you use it, and why it may be better for your use case than other protection solutions. Cool demos ensued.
Trevor has made his presentation slides, in PDF and ODP format, available online. He has also made his demo notes available. Trevor's slides included references to a couple Linux Pro Magazine articles: Running your Programs in a Jail with Firejail, and Sandboxing with Firejail.
Wyatt has made his presentation slides, in PDF format, available online.
