One more here. Same on the edlug front - long time lurker myself (6 years?) and still haven't made it to a meeting, although I've been off in Windows land for a good 5 of those. Made the move from XP to Ubuntu about 6 months ago & it's going well. > Btw, I know that at the Forest Cafe in town, they run Ubuntu on their > public-access internet machines, so it might be worth having a chat with > the folks in there; maybe that would also be a good place to advertise any > meet-ups we organise. Sure, edlug have organised a few Install days in the recent past there which went well (connected up with student groups and the like) and handed out a lot of Ubuntu CDs if I remember rightly. A lot of the groundwork in building recognition has been done for us in that respect. I can see a ubuntu group being good to those who are new to using Ubuntu but not neccessarily into the whole Linux thing itself. A good basis for learning the basics/a particular distro before going further. In that way the groups would complement quite well. Of course, if we organise our own meetings we'll have to remember to actually go. > (Oh, and hello to the list as well, while I'm at it.) Ditto.
