Hello list, A few weeks ago, I sent an e-mail (see below) with the idea of organising an Ubuntu event around the launch of Feisty Fawn. Are people here interested in participating in this (I didn't get much response until now)? We don't know what form it will be yet - originally we were thinking of doing a full day thing, it may come down to an afternoon.
If you want to come and join, or have proposals or ideas, things you would like to do, present etc, ... let us know. See you soon, -- bruno -------- Original Message -------- Hello, I'm Bruno from Indymedia.be. At Indymedia.be, we're thinking about organising an event when the next Ubuntu version is released (19th of April). The event could take place the weekend after that (21st - 22nd of April). We have the following in mind: - presentation of Ubuntu (what is it, where does it come from etc) - install party: installing Ubuntu (and possibly other Linux distros) - multimedia - Linux workshops: video & audio on Linux, GIMP, ... We asked Constant vzw (http://www.constantvzw.com/) to collaborate on this. - test lab: testing/comparing of Ubuntu & Windows Vista - our idea would be to do a 24h event, so there could also be 'lighter' things like films, music, ... - ... For the Ubuntu presentation it would be great if someone (or some people) of you could come and present Ubuntu: explaiin what Ubuntu is, a bit about its history, where Ubuntu is now, where it is going, .... Basically, it is an open platform for shameless Ubuntu promotion :-) We are also looking for people to help with the technical side of the event, with the Ubuntu / Linux installations and the test lab. If people want to help with this part, please let us now. Lastly, if you have ideas, suggestions, or if you would like to give a workshop, presentation on free software, Linux, FOSS multimedia, ... Everything is welcome. The event could take place in our building (Haachtsesteenweg / Chaussée de Haecht 51, 1210 Brussels - very close to the Botanique). There are several rooms where we can provide internet access, we can provide a 'lounge' space with drinks and food, ... Hope to hear from you soon, -- bruno [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "Open information is mind power." www.indymedia.be _ www.getbasic.be _ www.fluxx.be PGP public key: http://keys.indymedia.org _ id: D48B28E2 -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be -- "Open information is mind power." www.indymedia.be _ www.getbasic.be _ www.fluxx.be PGP public key: http://keys.indymedia.org _ id: D48B28E2 -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
