Vancouver
directions
Please enter by the back door, off the alley.
Activities
- Ryan Smith conducted and excellent "Introduction to Ubuntu" course last week. We should conduct a review and see if we can do it better next time.
- Next week Ryan will be conducting an "Install Fest". What can we do to make this run as smoothly as possible.
- Review the governance of Ubuntu Vancouver. It's been mostly ad hoc so far so lets see if we can formalize this some.
Minutes
- Ryan Smith conducted and excellent "Introduction to Ubuntu" course last week. We should conduct a review and see if we can do it better next time.
- The introduction to using the mouse, though seemingly too elementary, wasn't. It was very useful to the participants.
- The introduction to keyboard shortcuts should be moved the the next level of this course.
- There were 12 participants. In the future this should be limited to 10.
- Use of the data projector would have been helpful.
- Add a section on saving files and searching for files.
- Having more than one instructor at the session helped a lot.
- The next "Into to Ubuntu" will be held Wednesday, 17 September. It will be led by Kim.
- Next week Ryan will be conducting an "Install Fest". What can we do to make this run as smoothly as possible.
- Anybody who wishes to assist with the Install Fest are encouraged to attend.
- Kim will bring a supply of Ubuntu CDs.
- Review the governance of Ubuntu Vancouver. It's been mostly ad hoc so far so lets see if we can formalize this some.
- The consensus was that we are doing OK as is.
- There is no formal membership, no dues, everyone is encouraged to attend.
- Everybody's opinion carries equal weight.
- "We are for Ubuntu, not against anything!"
- The consensus was that we are doing OK as is.
Thank You,
Kim Kulak
