<br>
I just received this in the #ubuntu-uk mailing list, thought I'd pass the message on.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">*********************<br>
<br> I am pleased to announce that UK-TUG has arranged to run the 'LaTeX for<br>Beginners' training course in April. Please help spread the word by<br>forwarding the following announcement on to anyone who you feel would be<br>
interested.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Joseph Wright<br>UK-TUG Secretary<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>The UK TeX Users' Group (UK-TUG) periodically runs training courses in<br>
using LaTeX. We are very pleased to announce a presentation of our<br>beginners course, loosely entitled ‘Using LaTeX to write a thesis’. The<br>course will cover topics such as:<br><br> * Setting up LaTeX on a computer<br>
* Creating basic documents<br> * Logic structure in LaTeX documents<br> * Including graphical material<br> * Bibliographies<br> * LaTeX Q&A<br><br>The course will be taking place on Friday April 15th in central<br>
Cambridge, and will run from approximately 10 a.m. to around 4:30 pm.<br>The course will be aimed at new LaTeX users, with an emphasis on<br>hands-on experience. We will be using a computer lab equipped with<br>Windows PCs, but there will the opportunity to set up your system to use<br>
LaTeX. More details about the full programme for the day will be<br>circulated to participants nearer to the course date.<br><br>Places are strictly limited by the size of the venue. To book a<br>provisional place, please e-mail <a href="mailto:joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk" style="color: rgb(92, 69, 32); ">joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk</a> with<br>
your details. The non-refundable course fee (£10) and the a copy of the<br>attached membership form should then be sent to Joseph Wright, UK-TUG<br>Secretary. (The course fee includes membership of UK-TUG for 2011.)<br>Payment should be sent within two weeks of making a provisional booking,<br>
otherwise the space may be released. We will also hold a ‘reserve’ list<br>of names if the course reaches capacity: experience suggests that the<br>course will book up very rapidly.<br><br>The course material is intended as a general introduction to using<br>
LaTeX. However, it is useful to have some idea about the interests of<br>those attending, as this enables us to prepare for at least some of the<br>potential questions. A brief outline of your background is therefore<br>
encouraged along with your booking. It is also useful to know what<br>
operating system you usually use, as this is useful when preparing<br>instructions on how to set up LaTeX for your own systems.<br><br>**********************</span><br>
