Hi
I would like to have some suggestions and volunteers to present 5 minute demos of "basic Linux topics", either before or after the main meeting. This would be in a small group around a table, not to the main group. My idea here is to provide a bit of structure to the groups, so they are more focused on demos and not just chatting. My ideas: - Word processing - Open office, Callabra Word, other. - Spreadsheets - email clients - different browsers and why try them - setting up a web server - setting up a database - setting up a VM for a purpose (such as - is that too long for 5 minutes?) - or maybe use the VM, not showing how to set it up, to demonstrate a database on a server or use two of them to demonstrate failover? - simple programming demo - simple shell script demo - anyone got scripts they use a lot? -- Rob Echlin, B.
