Hi folks, I was wondering if any of the members on here are going to do something Linux related for Children In Need?
I can't recall who mentioned the idea of doing an install day in aid of Children In Need. I mentioned it to my local LUG although there was only slight interest. Anyway, I decided to persevere with the idea and I have managed to arrange a FLOSS related event in Devon with proceeds going to Children In Need. At first I was going to go with the Ubuntu idea although a few of the LUG members mentioned other distros and considering I couldn't do it all on my own I decided to make it a Linux install day. Then someone else mentioned that some people would find it easier trying some FLOSS software such as Firefox, Thunderbird and OOo first. With this in mind I have managed to get a small venue in a conference room at a local recording studio. I'm going to be flying the flag for Ubuntu, I will be burning off a whole load of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu CDs and demonstrating Ubuntu. So far I've mentioned it to two people at work whose PCs were in a bad state (PCs riddled with spyware etc). My dad is also interested in trying it out too. The event I am holding will be on Saturday 18th November in Newton Abbot from 10am at The Music Mill recording studio. If there are any members of the list in Devon then please feel free to come along, the more the merrier :-) Hopefully with little events like this we'll be able to spread the word and do a bit for charity at the same time.
