<div dir="ltr">Hi Kevin,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been interested in doing something like this
for a while. While I still use Linux every day I am
probably more interested in programming, since I'm a web
developer. As you say, it is now easier than ever to get
into Linux (I think it's easier to install many distros
than it is installing Windows) so a shift in focus or at
least an alternative group for such a focus would be
welcomed by me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've had a look at EPIK, but it's not clear from the
website where most of the events take place. I assume it
would be in and around Canterbury? Unfortunately I'm in
Tunbridge Wells, so I couldn't really be further from
you while still being in Kent. Does EPIK tend to do much
outside of Canterbury? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've also had a look at Codeclub (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.codeclub.org.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.codeclub.org.uk/</a>)
and I will probably sign up and see what happens with
that, but if I can't find an existing group nearby then
I'll be faced with either the prospect of travelling a
good distance or setting up my own group which is a lot
of effort to go to before really getting a taste for it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unless anyone can suggest anything else similar? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

all,<br>
<br>
I've previously mentioned my connections with EPIK
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.epik.org.uk" target="_blank">www.epik.org.uk</a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.facebook.com/epikprojectuk"
target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/epikprojectuk</a>),
well it has been floated that we, the Kent Linux
User Group team up for an event at multiple sites
with EPIK.<br>
<br>
The idea being that as EPIK involves a number of
open source projects providing an easy way for
kids to get into tech (more specifically
programming) using such things as Linux, it seems
a natural mutual objective for both of us to team
up and provide a way for the kids to see what
Linux can do and for us to inspire the next gen of
techies and perhaps pull in more membership with
the parents.<br>
<br>
At this stage its a little vague what and when
things to kick off, so my question is to everyone,
as Linux is now reasonably easy and the need for a
user group is slowly fading, we need a new
direction and this could be the one, can I count
on support from the membership here for volunteers
to come forward and talk, show and tell, or mentor
if this was to happen?<br>
<br>
We have a large amount of skill within this list,
in many areas of technology and it would be great
to pass on what we know to these kids who want to
know and don't get it through their current
channels.<br>
<br>
As soon as I know more then I will expand on
things.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Kev<br>
