==================================================================
Abstract:

The evening will be an introduction and demonstration of Leo,
_L_iterate _E_diting with _O_utlines.  Leo allows one to transform the
narrative method of Literate Programming by replacing the narrative with
an extended outline - but an outline extended to support directed
acyclic graphs, which enables the author to provide multiple views into
the same data.  Leo is thus most useful for system administration duties
that involve understanding or composing a mostly static collection of
complex data, such as an application configuration files, the source
code to a program, a network layout, or a project plan.

Most of the presentation will consist of a live walk-through of:
creating an outline, generating files from an outline; Leo's interaction
with files; documenting a program with Leo; and how Leo supports one
approach to host configuration management.  According to audience
interest, we may also look at the process of installing Leo, at
documenting network topologies, or at some of Leo's extensions.
