Our next meeting (thursday September 15) will be our semesterly "don't fear the penguin" meeting.
The "don't fear the penguin" meeting (DFTP) is focused toward teaching the basics of linux to new users, particularly those who had linux installed on their computers at the installfest. So, the topics are quite simple --- things that will help the newbies get up and running in their first week or two. As such, newbies who have used linux for a short period of time are, in some ways, the ideal presenters! DFTP topic ideas: KDE/Gnome Replacements for common windoze software First steps into the terminal (10-15 *simple* commands (cd, ls, ...)) Installing new software (yum/apt) Troubleshooting tips If you are interested in presenting at the DFTP meeting, please email me and let me know what you are interested in presenting. It can be one of the above topics, or a topic of your own invention. I will take those ideas, determine an outline for the meeting, and pass that information along to those who were interested in presenting. Thanks for the support and help with setting up this meeting. ~Erin -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
