This is a reaction to the survey results. I started a new thread to avoid thread stealing and getting the different reactions all garbled up in one thread. I might suggest that others responding to the survey start new threads to prevent confusion.
Great job!!!!!!! But I think that we are missing the casual user. Now that Ubuntu is about as easy to use as Windows, we need to look for ways to service the non code proficient user without boring the daylights out of our core constituency. The sort of topics that these potential members would probably be interested in are things like configuring gstream, fully uexploiting the features of programs like Open Office and the Gimp, doing an initial install, etc. Our current constituency obviously doesn't want to sit through two hours of the basics of an Open Office Spreadsheet, but the colleges in our area are still focused on proprietary Products and the Open source software does work differently. How can we do this? -- Robert Mark Wallace 60 Delaware Road Newburgh, NY 12550-3802 (845) 541-7396 _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Feb 2 - Zimbra Mar 2 - MHVLUG 8th Anniversary - Show and Tell Apr 6 - Introduction to IPv6
