[SLUG] Digital Scarborough

[Bob Garrood]

Hi

At the last meeting Digital Scarborough came up.  If we want to organise for 
this, then I suggest we start by settling the theme, and then some general 
ground rules for organisation.  Here is an idea.

Theme. Last year it was 'Freedom'.  How about 'Alternatives' this time, 
perhaps organised as, say, 3 examples,  "Alternatives to Office",  
"Alternative Browsers" are possibles.  I am sure there will be other 
suggestions ("Alternatives to crashes and viruses").  Each alternative would 
each need an A4 poster listing possibilities.  "Alternatives to Office" might 
be OpenOffice, Koffice, Abiword, Gnumeric and even editors like Gedit and 
Kate, and these could be available for inspection on the 3 machines we set 
up.

Ground rules.
Rather than give out handouts, we could try to point people at helpful 
websites.  Only people with the initiative to look things will want to 
install linux anyway.
