[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Reminder for ALPS first meeting tonight.

This is reiteration of a previous attempt at Android Linux user 
support, at the library venue, that got moved and became generic 
cellphone user support / education, then petered out.

We will be temporarily turning an all-in-one PC into an overgrown 
Android tablet, using an android-x86 LiveCD, and exploring the Linux 
internals as best possible. We will look at GNU/Linuxy alternatives to 
Android, for hand-held ICT devices/phones, also.

Externally, we will run Ubuntu-MATE LiveDVDs on other PCs for 
comparison and definite internet, and provide the standard GNU/Linux 
Users' support too (as per the first Wednesday night monthly).

All welcome. See you soon.
