Hi Randall, You're doing a really great thing, and doing it well. You and your fellow group members should be proud, because it's not so easy to generate interest in Linux or BSD (your only mainline choices for non-corporate operating systems, as far as I know). Back in 1999 it was trivial to star

Thanks for the support. We're just feeling our way into this now as a group -- one reason we picked Reboot as our name for now is because it's a one-word name and we could add more at the end of the name later. But yes, we did miss a chance to be yet another state-name-pun organization. On Fr

Thanks. Our group is having its first event Sunday at 1:30, and this event is actually turning out to be Linux-focused. It will be quite a basic event, giving out bootable USBs with Ubuntu 24.04, and the event will be in-person though we will also have an online connection. We may be able to

Thanks! Sorry the RI group is still a little uncertain in its interests. Doing a Linux installfest might possibly fall within the RI group's interests, it's just too early to say. I know I'd attend if we had one in RI, don't know if you would be interested in joining. I already set up a lists

Hi Randall, sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I was initially thinking of Linux installfests, but since it looks like some of the interests are outside the scope of Linux, per se.

A group that's started to form in Rhode Island is interested in learning, teaching and advocating for non-corporate software. Although I'm not sure whether we will call ourselves a Linux User Group, at the first meeting last night everyone was interested in learning more about Linux and most we
