I was traveling for 1 1/2 years and just got back to Hawaii last week. I noticed that Linux users groups in other places were not very organized. In the places I visited it wasn't from lack of interest, but from lack of direction/leadership (one person who sets the date, location, topic). In one city they were setting up a kiosk at the mall so people could try Linux, and then come to install sessions on the following weekend. I don't know how that turned out though. > You might be interested in the Cyberpizza events: > http://www.cyberpizzahawaii.com/upcoming.html > > Are you living in the islands now? > > Jim I live in Honolulu. I'll check out the Cyberpizza events. I am hoping to take some programming classes at UH or KCC next semester. I'm trying to learn Python/Plone/Zope, but am interested in anything relating to computers (preferably Linux/open-source). I also heard something about a local Ruby users group? __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com
