[GNUz] Workshop Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, November 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.

We use the 33-computer suite of i5s and overhead projector there, for
BYO thumbdrive or liveCD distro show & tell, and knowledge exchange:
a troubleshooting & tuition workshop monthly. Notebooks are the easiest 
demo systems to bring. GNU/Linux Mint, Ubuntu etc Debian variants, 
releases 12.04-14.10, 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 / some 
regular arduino program discussion / venue familiarisation for 
http://www.SoftwareFreedomDay.org annual event / what meets demand.

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

This month those interested will discuss prospects for www.newnix.club 
mechanism to deliver systematic support and *nix user development into 
an expanded market space.

All welcome.

Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
