Hi Ferdi and Ubuntu Mail Listers, Thanks for the offer, Ferdi, but I think that the presentations might be a bit of overkill at this stage. A couple of months down the track though... The book idea is a good one, and having your e-mail from Germany is a good, personal, example of just how universal Ubuntu is. A printed copy is due for my display!
It is back to researching the wiki for any more info that I can find that might help this project along. Of course, if there are any more offers ...
