This use of Linux thread ties in quite nicely with a chat I was having with Ben Hayes this morning.
What would be the general opinion of trying to hold PLUG meetings in a school or college as a kind of "evening class"-cum-PLUG-meet? Ie making a specific attempt to try to educate people (not so much about the "why" they should use FOSS, more initially about they "how" to use FOSS). There must be people who would be keen to go beyond the IT skills of using Excel to other tasks and with other operating systems. If we can get them young we can try to send them out into the world with an open mind. I'm not sure if or how it would work, but as we're looking for a venue anyway I thought it might be somewhere we could try? -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) @ 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
