[Lancaster] can anyone help with an 'intro to linux' event?

[Andrew Baxter]

Hi all,

A friend asked me if I could do an introduction to installing and using 
linux for the 'University of Occupy Lancaster'. He's booked a room at 
the Robert Gillow Pub in Lancaster, upstairs at 7pm on Thursday 11th 
October.

I was thinking of starting by showing people some of the software 
they're likely to want - web browser, email client, media player, photo 
editing, word processing, DTP etc. This bit could be based on the needs 
of the people who come, rather than too scripted. Then if there's time I 
could take people through an install of ubuntu. (Maybe on a spare 
partition of my laptop's disk).

He's promised that there will be wifi, so we should be able to get a net 
connection.

If anyone would like to help with this event, that would be great. The 
last time I talked to my friend, about 4 people had signed up, but that 
was before he put it on Facebook, so there may be more.

Could you let me know if you're able to help?

Cheers,

andy
