REMINDER: WLUG meeting is tomorrow!
There is a Waikato Linux Users Group meeting tomorrow: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WLUG Workshop Day Just waiting to confirm room availability at the Uni. Bring your computer/laptop/netbook along if you want assistance trouble shooting or would like to show off a project/software you've been working on.
Oh dear.. If you like, I can organise a Saturday workshop at Te Whare O Te Ata pretty easily. The room is not as big as we had last year but it'd probably do if we're careful about how we use the space. Also there's only a few tables. I'll ask around and see if we can get some more. http://fairfieldcommunity.org.nz/ Also I have an ongoing 'internet cafe / drop in open learning' session every Wednesday and Thurdsay, 3pm to 6pm. It's intended as a service for the Fairfield and Chartwell community so I don't really want it becoming a WLUG workshop every week but I would be interested if anyone wants to volunteer running it the same hours on other days. The setup is six donated (slightly underpowered and sometimes unreliable) computers running ubuntu 10.04, with internet provided by a server in the office running squid and dansguardian. I'm also open to helping people with Windows problems, as long as they're willing to consider suggestions of Free software at the same time. Yesterday I solved someone's Windows problems by installing Linux Mint for them, they went home very happy. But I would not expect other volunteers to do anything more than supervise and help people with questions about the internet, Libreoffice and other common software.

Thanks for the offer Bruce,, I will leave this to you to organise. Perhaps a show of hands from club members on the list might help to guage interest at such short notice. I unfortanately won't be able to assist this weekend. Cheers, Chris
Probably a bit late for this weekend since I'm busy all day today, and next weekend is booked by PC Computer club I think. We could move it to the weekend before a Monday night meeting, or just see how things are looking for June and if it looks like University's still not happening then I'll talk to Frank.

The email below was sent automatically since I had set it up a place holder in anticipation of organising this meeting. Despite my best efforts to secure the room at the University, a slow response meant we have now insufficient time and since I have other family commitments this weekend, I am unable to assist with in setting anything up. I sent an email to this list yesterday advising of this so I hope there isn't any confusion amonght those whom I discussed this with at the last meeting. See next email in thread.
