Seems like the mailing list has got active again!! Hip hip hurray :) Well, we could do with a good pair of helping hands if someone has some free time and/or skill. There were a couple of posts on the MLUG list regarding information of Open Source for beginners as well as information of applications for new users who wish to use their new open source desktop to carry out academic work. The website is coming along nicely and a couple of articles covering this topic would be greatly appreciated. My personal note would be to avoid dissing other distributions or projects because it only causes gripes and flamewars. Anton, I am looking at you!
Another item which we might need some help with is promotional material. Anton showed me some graphics regarding posters we could circulate as info material (aka propaganda) to fellow students or workers. Help in that department will help the adoption of OSS technologies among felow friends and co-workers. This would be a true grassroots effort which involves the local Maltese population. If you ever were pissed off that only technologies backed by companies get promotional attention in the Maltese islands, now is the time to take action! Last but not least, I would like to thank Ramon, Keith, Anton and Philip for the help they put into getting back the MLUG server as well as the community from its ashes. -- Raphael _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list [email protected] http://linux.org.mt/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list
