Re: [ubuntu-uk] 10.10 installation workshop in London
I have no idea how many people will turn up, so I could be there practicing my Inkscape skills or be swamped by rampaging students all wanting Ubuntu !! - Hopefully some middle ground would be good (for me). I know - same for us, you never know with the VCS ;) Sure, I'll come along and do what I can on the 13th - we can always talk amongst ourselves if we're thin of company! I find it's hard to get people to come but when they do they're really wowed by Ubuntu. Then they're carping and ripping their hair out as they tackle the learning curve for the next 3 months, then they're wowed again lol I've got Maverick beta on two of the laptops already, had some problems with logging out and back in again but haven't had time to look at it properly.

Paula Hello Paula, If you can bring a laptop with you then that would be great. I have 3 Asus Eee PC (900, 1000, 1201N) all running Ubuntu, the EeePC 900 has Maverick Netbook beta on it at the moment, so people can see the alternative to the desktop. I should upgrade the EeePC 1000 at the Ubuntu release party on 10th http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/307/detail/ I am also running. Do you have an electronic copy of the helpsheet you mention? I am looking for something a little smaller than the ubuntu-manual.org pdf. Although that is a great manual, it is big and scary for a new person.

It's great because we know exactly how the installation goes on the laptops - they all install perfectly with everything working so it's a totally positive experience for the users and doesn't put them off at the first hurdle. It also makes it predictable enough that I can do an installation on a projector for them to follow step-by-step and also show them maintenance tasks in a structured way that seems to work for the kind of general luddism that tends to characterise the VCS ;) I know another group that's been doing Ubuntu installs with homeless people in London shelters that've gone well too.
