Creating this is the first step, don't be put off however if the first few events are a little quiet. Consistency of schedule (once a month for instance) is the secret to getting people involved. I went to a local one just last night (Melbourne, Australia), it has been running for 3 years

One can avoid paying Microsoft all they want, if it isn't dealt with moral terms and the the idea of proprietary software isn't considered a 'major issue' - then they will not see themselves get entrapped by the next big company that is out to lock people in. I have escaped Microsoft, now

The GNOME project removes unneeded features. A status bar is not an unneeded feature, it's a vital part of a file manager. Unless of course you were being sarcastic, in which case, I agree. By the way, this is a free/libre software community, not an open source community. Yes, I'll go and

Hi Mampir, Sorry for the late response. The fix you described worked well, thank you so much! As you mention, the keyboard indicator icon is now a huge keyboard with no indication of current language. I will experiment with the flags option to see if I can get it to show the actual layout.

GNU is an operating system. It doesn't make sense to talk about a GNU replacement for mspaint. On the topic of free/libre simplistic graphical programs, I use KolourPaint. There's also mtPaint, rgbPaint, and XPaint. All of these are in Trisquel's software repository.
