I've been running a computer refurbishment scheme for over 10 years now, and lubuntu has been a big part of that. I take in old computers, refurbish them and they are given away to people with mental health problems or their families. Initially I taught people how to use things on a 1:1 basis. Then I created an illustrated guide to using lubuntu - 7 pages crucial, the other 7 pages in case they are needed. It gets provided as both paper and PDF copies. So, when a refurbished computer is passed on, I put on the Desktop 1) a folder of the PDFs available from the LibreOffice site 2) GIMP user guide from the GIMP website and 3) a PDF of my illustrated guide/ There are some other works out there than might be worth considering for inclusion:- http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ http://www.dealingwithdisrespect.com/ https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fsfs/rms-essays.pdf https://www.linux.com/publications/how-participate-linux-community And the GNU manuals can be found online here:- https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html I am in the process of learning Python, with the hope of writing useful stuff. Just thought I'd inform the mailing list as well. > Thank you.
