[GNUz] Workshop Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, March 5,

Wednesday night is the Sydenham Freenix* workshop, 7.30-9.30pm (first 
Wednesday of each month, February to December), at the South Learning 
Centre <http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/>, rear door of 
South Christchurch Library, 66 Colombo Street, Cashmere. All welcome.

We use the 33-computer suite of i5s and overhead projector there, for 
BYO thumbdrive or liveCD distro show & tell, knowledge exchange, 
troubleshooting & tuition. Notebooks are the easiest demo systems to 
bring. GNU/Linux Mint, Point Linux and Ubuntu variants, 12.04-13.10, are 
the main distros we currently display on the lab machines. If you 
require a DVD or CD burnt you can request it there or by off-list reply 
please.

Technical presentation space - open format for talk offerings. Venue 
familiarisation for http://www.SoftwareFreedomDay.org annual event.

Workshop is also a chance to meet other *nix users, have installation 
questions answered & resolved, get on-line security tips, etc.

* Mate desktop is a successful fork from Gnome 2, and will be supported 
in Ubuntu 14.04 - great news, for those unhappy with Unity desktop.

* Auckland will host linux.conf.au next year! www.lcauckland.org.nz

Mind the storm today.


Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
