Hello all Any amendments to this - I propose to send it to the Penzance Chamber of Commerce for a start. Thanks Hello I thought your members might be interested in these events because moving to Free Software, even free Operating Systems would not only save your members money but also keep them up to date with International Standards such as Open Document Formats. It would also give them freedom to modify and adapt programmes to suit themselves and install and copy them to as many machines as they wish without charge. On October 28th and November 11th, the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux Users Group, in association with Penzance Computers, is offering an opportunity to try out Free Software and some different brands of the Free Operating System. The events will take place at Penzance computers ecafe on Wood St, Penzance (off Market Jew St) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You may attend either or both meetings. Members of the DCGLUG will be available for demonstrations, questioning and further support. CDs and DVDs of some distributions such as Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS will be available for participants to take back to the workplace or home, install and test. Tuition will be given in dual booting with Windows or making an exclusive installation. Further help will always be available online via the GLUG email List and web site or individually by arrangement. As much hands on experience as possible will be given with the participants' choices of OS or software. Various software will be on show, such as OpenOffice.org, the Office suite; scribus, the Desktop Publishing programme; The Gimp, the GNU Image Manipulation Programme. Others will be shown on request. If there is enough interest, User Group members will arrange a workshop event exclusively for small businesses. I would appreciate it if you would draw your members' attention to these workshops. I can provide posters if you should ask for members to display.
