Re: [SLUG] Linux training

Any Unix based training is good,  so if you learn to to script on Aix,  Sun 
then it transfers directly to Linux.  So ask at your local tafe or those 
night courses that come out twice a year.


Granville Tafe used to do some training in various elements and it was 
cheap.


Perl Training is an excellent course for Perl.I have done the courses 
and recommend them   (Jacinta will probably post a link because I am too 
lazy to search).


My personal experience is that you just do it.   So an approach is to find 
something that interests you  (music,  word processing,  We applications) 
jump on board the application as a community person read emails look at the 
code and then start making changes and discussing them on the developer 
mailing list.   I have needed a few things over time and just jumped in and 
learnt unexpected things while working on unrelated projects (much more on 
C++ while working supporting scripts for Libre Office for example).


If you can give us some idea of what you are interested in then we can 
certainly help.   We can also answer any questions on Linux here,  there is 
a deep range of Linux people here  (I  don't know bind but I know where to 
ask ;-)


So what do you want to do?

Re: [SLUG] Question: I gave a lightning talk 1 or 2 months ago. Are these still being posted, downloadable?

Not sure but it might be some time.

I just checked the homepage at http://www.slug.org.au/ and it's been
recently updated to show a talk from 2010 !

(Maybe they are just testing new features - not sure)

I think it randomly selects a talk from
http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleFOSSSydney

The newest video appears to be 5 months old though.
