[Blackpool] Blackpool Digest, Vol 32, Issue 2

[Les]

My thanks to everyone for an enjoyable session. It was most refreshing
to be able to speak face to face to fellow Linux users.

Mike asked me today, what would I like to see in the LUG. I initially
answered that I am into learning different software packages and the
python programming language. However I would be interested in learning
Slackware, or perhaps another distro.
I have used Debian based distros for the last few years,so I think it
may do me some good to get out of my "comfort zone".

Also, and this is a question to all.
What can I bring to the LUG? (Aside from biscuits?)

I have considerable experience in Ubuntu, HTML, CSS as well as Android
mobiles, MAEMO based internet tablets.
I have decent knowledge of Inkscape, GIMP, Blender and Open Office.

Perhaps next week I could show everyone unetbootin and how to use it to
put an .iso on a usb drive?

Thanks for a great session and see you next week.

Mike, as a quick aside, have you thought about sending an email to
linuxoutlaws.com to advertise the lug? They are the most popular linux
podcast, and currently have 50000 downloads per week!
