Hi there .... as requested during the last meeting, reports are required before the next one. For tonight's meeting:
Planning matters. I've put quite a few items on the pre-meeting notepad under planning. I've e-mailed all the colleges close to Nottingham that do a drama course hoping that one of them might take up where Gloucester left off. So far, no reply. We really need some networking here by someone who is at an appropriate college. I don't mind travelling anywhere in the UK to meet up and negotiate. Also, I have contacted a lot of equipment manufacturers and have had a couple of interesting exchanges of e-mails. This only applies to the UK. I'd like to recommend worldwide initiatives like that. I would like to see far more PC manufacturers offering pre-installed PC's and making contact with them is probably going to help. I've also been trying to persuade some of the 'barebones' suppliers to let us test and mark as Ubuntu friendly some of their models. I've had a response from one, and the short answer is 'not yet'. Research is ongoing, and I've coordinated what I can on the research page. So far, Cassidy's attempts to give me access to his spreadsheet have failed. I've also made a start on the training for transition course that I promised. Please feel free to amend and add to it. The draft is on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdverts/training Regards, Barry Drake. -- Barry Drake is a member of the the Ubuntu Advertising team. http://ubuntuadverts.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-advertising Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-advertising More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
