<br>Over the past few meetings I have been getting a bit of feedback from<br>new KWLUGgers. They have been telling me that while the meetings have<br>been interesting, the content has been way over their heads. <br><br>That got me thinking about another question I have been running into:<br>what linux distro people should start with. <br><br>One direction this takes me is to suggest that we make an explicit<br>attempt to schedule some more newbie-friendly meetings, and label them<br>as such on the website. <br><br>Another horrible direction is that I have been pondering whether to<br>give a presentation on this topic. However, I don't know whether this<br>is a terrible idea or just a really bad one. (Also, the next available<br>KWLUG slot is November, assuming Khalid, Andrew, Brad or somebody else<br>has not snapped it up already. I would present sooner if I spoke at<br>Software Freedom Day or Ontario Linux Fest.) <br><br>Recently I heard Richard give
this talk in five minutes. It was pretty<br>excellent. That leads me to believe that this might be a good final<br>talk for the June meeting, if Richard or somebody was willing to risk<br>his or her life by giving it. <br><br>Thoughts? <br><br>- Paul<br><br><br>-- <br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://pnijjar.freeshell.org">http://pnijjar.freeshell.org</a></span><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a target="_blank" href="http://kwlug-disc_kwlug.org">kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a> mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:kwlug-disc_kwlug.org@kwlug.org" href="mailto:kwlug-disc_kwlug.org@kwlug.org">kwlug-disc_kwlug.org@kwlug.org</a><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://astoria.ccjclearline.com/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org">http://astoria.ccjclearline.com/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a></span><br></div></div>
