Hi Robert, Roger and All,
Thank you, the invite for presentations is a standing one. We've had
just a few, on Linux.conf then arduino a few years back. But the turnout
is small (range 1-8), helps newbies fix stuff and mostly is informal
discussion of open source industry news, distros etc.
So those attending this evening will choose a way forward and let you
know plan.
Cheers, Rik

Some interesting project topics there Robert, I'd be interested in
coming a few times a year (but doubt I could manage monthly)
Cheers,

Hi Rik (and all),
I have never been to one of your sessions, mainly because I play
basketball on Wednesday nights.
Reading your reminder emails I get the impression (maybe wrong) that
you discuss Distros and Linux "Desktops". When we used to have CLUG
meetings we often had "agendas" which included preplanned
presentations which often enlightened me (I am not a geek, guru or
programmer).
If you still do run such presentations then ignore this email but if
you don't perhaps you and others could discuss the possibility and ask
for presenters.
I would be happy to share my Linux journey and what I have achieved
(with help from CLUG and Google).
I now have headless servers running MythTV, Emby, Transmission, Home
Assistant, Virtual machines, ZoneMinder, NextCloud and WordPress and I
am sure others could add to this list to offer other presentations.

Hi all, monthly notice, May 1.
Wednesday night is the GNU/Linux Users' workshop: 7.30pm-9.30pm in
the
South Learning Centre (SLC), through rear door of South
Christchurch
Library at 66 Colombo Street, Cashmere -
https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/locations/SOUTH/ [1] -
held on the
first Wednesday monthly, Feb-Dec.
LiveCD/DVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* operating system
distributions are used to demonstrate alternative desktop
environments,
in the SLC computer lab of i5, all-in-one, touchscreen PCs.
Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we most display and
Long
Term Support releases like 18.04 are recommended, though rolling
upgrades (19.04 is latest, April release) tend to run fastest with
very
latest kernel drivers and software incorporated. Both are
up-to-date,
secure, and will run well on a lot of aged equipment to extend its
life.
See http://debian.org [2] background and
http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ [3]
for these distros and http://distrowatch.com [4] for a great many
other
variants to choose from. Portable devices welcome, esp. laptops.
BYO distributions and any new tech you like; overhead projector -
let
us know if you have a presentation to offer.
Thank you for the support of these workshops and the Software
Freedom
Day annual installfest event.
Kind regards,
Rik Tindall
