Hi all, monthly notice, August 5,

Tomorrow 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/>, through 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 and handheld 
demo systems welcome. GNU/Linux Mint, Ubuntu etc Debian variants, 
releases 12.04-15.04 esp. Long Term Support, are the main distros we 
currently display on the lab machines, but all distros are of interest. 
If you require a distro DVD or CD burnt you can request it there or by 
off-list reply please.

Technical presentation space - open format for: talk offerings / arduino 
/ venue familiarisation for http://www.SoftwareFreedomDay.org annual 
event / what meets demand.

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

Also developing a www.newnix.club mechanism for delivering systematic 
support and *nix user training into an expanded market space.
- What kind of new user tuition would you like to see in place?..

All welcome.

Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
