Hi all, monthly notice, November 6,
Tomorrow night is the Freenix* workshop, 7.30-9.30pm (first Wednesday of
each month, February to December), at the South Learning Centre
<http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/>, entry at rear door of
South Christchurch Library, 66 Colombo Street, Beckenham-Cashmere.
We use the 33-computer suite of i5s and overhead projector there for
free and open-source software demonstration: a BYO thumb-drive / memory
stick or liveCD software distribution show & tell, a knowledge exchange
with system troubleshooting help and basic tuition on hand. Notebooks
and tablets are easy demo systems people may choose to bring along.
Technical presentation space - an open format for talks people can
offer, and monthly venue familiarisation with training for the
http://www.SoftwareFreedomDay.org open day annual event (SFD).
Freenix workshop is a social opportunity to meet other *nix users, have
FOSS installation questions answered, gather on-line computer security
tips, plan FOSS projects, etc. All welcome. A $2 SFD donation is asked.
Debian-based software distributions are the main type we currently
display on the lab machines: L/Ubuntu 12.04 - 13.10, Linux Mint and
Point Linux GNU/Linux especially. New users can request any FOSS CD or
DVD burnt, from what is displayed, or by off-list reply to this email.
Come along and join the fun.
Kind regards,
Rik Tindall
