Hello fellow Ubuntu user (Ubuntuer? Ubunter??). My name is Robin and
just wanna say hi to all the people here on the list.
I currently live in Auckland and switched to Ubuntu since Breezy and am
planning to do a bit of computer fixing and Ubuntu spreading in the
School Holidays (which is exactly one week away for me. Woohoo!). It's
just an idea but maybe there could be like a region Ubuntu master that
advertises for Ubuntu installation and earn a bit of money from
servicing computers and installing Ubuntu on it?
Cheers,
Robin
I live in Auckland too, but don't have any spare time these holidays until
February... Who else is from Auckland?
