Oh, I forgot to add that I've made a start on the transition course on a wiki page at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdverts/training Please feel free to put stuff on it. Before we use the material, it will need to be adapted for Natty, with a lot of screenshots (that was a particular request from a Windows user who tried to follow the very geeky Ubuntu manual). The section on OpenOffice will look the same as will some of the other course elements. Hopefully there will be some stuff you can use for worksheets.

This parallels the exercise I'm currently doing for Ubuntu Advertising. We will be preparing a manual on Upgrading to Ubuntu and the Transition process. migrating is scary, and so is change. Upgrade and transition are positive words!

[ubuntu-uk] Free Software for Non-Profits Day
I'm organising an open day on Feb 23 for groups/SEs who work with non-profits in East London providing or advising on Free Software - it'll consist of practical workshops and presentations. If anyone would like to get involved or do an Ubuntu-related workshop or presentation for non-techies, let me know :) We'll be hiring a somewhat larger venue than usual and working with Tower Hamlets and City non-profit umbrella orgs. Time is tight (we have budget to use up before March) . . . We're also putting together some helpsheets for small orgs who can't afford tech support - I'll be compiling a list of topics shortly, but if anyone thinks they would like to do some simple, illustrated Ubuntu helpsheets on topics such as migrating from Windows, what kind of software to use and how to install it etc etc - also let me know.
