Hello,

venue is the Westminster University Campus building on the junction of
New Cavendish Street and Cleveland Street. Directions are available
here:

This event is a Introduction to Linux Day/Installfest/Technical Meeting.

-= Introduction to Linux Day =-


This is our first opportunity to approach the new intake of students in
Londons universities and colleges and talk to them about GNU/Linux.

If you are currently studying in a London college or Uni *PLEASE* get in
touch with me to help advertise the event.

We will be running a few demonstrations in this area.

__Linux and Productivity Applications__

* OpenOffice word processing, spreadsheets, presentations
* Managing email, calendars, contacts and tasks in Evolution
* DTP with Scribus

__Linux and Multimedia Applications__

* Watching DVDs using Linux
* Managing your music collection and integration with mobile media
players
* Managing your photo collection

__Using Linux desktop__

* Using the 3D desktop
* Using the integrated search features
* Using Instant Messaging
* Using devices with Linux

We need volunteers to run these demonstrations. Please let me know if
you are interested in helping

-= Installfest =-

If you are having problems getting a particular device to work with
Linux, or install it at all let the more experienced members of the
group help you out. We will have ISO images for various distributions if
you fancy installing something new. I quite like the idea of a "retro
installfest" where we all try and install some REALLY old distros and
see how we get on.

-= Technical Meeting =-

I am close to being able to announce a presentation from a major Linux
vendor for this date. More details to follow shortly.

Please check the mailing list and gllug.org.uk website for more details
as they become available.

Thanks
