[Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu Day @ ULg - N-HiTec

[Terry Moës]

Hello all,

As posted before, N-HiTec would like to re-organize an Ubuntu Day @ ULg.

First of all, you have to know that it seems we won't have same 
administrative problems this time as the most is already done.

/About what : /

What we would like to do is, in addition with a LIP, to offer some 
training and presentations of Linux (and in particular Ubuntu) to people 
who want.

So, we need people interested in sharing their knowledge of Linux to 
others. It would be good to make at least 2 presentations at the same 
time, each one during about 2hours :

1) An introduction to the working of Ubuntu : starting the computer and 
open a session (Gnome, KDE or other) ; the working of the interface 
(shortcuts, control panel, ...), off course Synaptic, and some basic 
settings like 3D Effects, multiple desktops, network (and WPA as we use 
WPA encryption on the network at ULg), own keyboard shortcuts, compile 
and install by themselves (./configure, make, ...), tar and gzip, the 
joy of the terminal and his basic functions (vim-nano-emacs, more/less, 
grep, apt-get, mv, cp, ...)

2) Advanced functions : advanced settings like xorg, network, 
configuration of Apache, PHP/Mysql and other useful servers, virtual 
machines (to run windows e.g.), network sharing, package creation, ...

These lists are non-exhaustive and off course we ain't forced to present 
everything listed ; I wrote them only for examples. Every idea, 
suggestion, remark is welcome ;-)

/About when & where :
/
End afternoon and evening during the week after the release of 8.04 
(week of the 21 april would be great, not friday). Probably on the 
Campus of the Sart-Tilman : easy to park, many bus to come and leave, 
and all the infrastructure we need.

We are looking after people who would make one presentation. As written, 
the subjects are not fixed so tell me what you'd like to do. Is is also 
possible that different persons perform an unique presentation.

These presentations would be done in French and opened to everyone. 
People who prefer perform the LIP are also welcome (the more people, the 
more fun and the better it is ;-)).

For further information, don't hesitate to take contact with me on my

Hope to see you soon,

For N-HiTec, Terry
