MoS2007 Initial Schedule

[Andrew Gee]

Hi!

Right... After thinking for a while, I've decided I'd like to work on the following screencasts:

Week 1:
* Getting Help
* Tour of the Ubuntu Desktop

Week 2:
* Installing ubuntu (perhaps, as I don't really know what things could go wrong. Or the ones that would go wrong could be quite complex to explain)
* Installing software packages from repos

Week 3:
* First steps - what you need to know about media playback
* Playing media

Week 4:
* Email
* IM

Of course, this is only a "preliminary" selection. *If* and when I finish a few of them, I may move onto others.

I currently don't know how much work sixthform will be, when I start next friday. I can't imagine it being too bad though.

I hope I'll be able to complete as many of these as possible. I seem to like to get everything planned "over the top" for each screencast though. But 
as I've done two, the process should be a bit more streamlined...

Now to get to planning!

One last message... Is it possible to make the reply-to of the list, the list address rather than the message sender.

Byeeeeeeeeee
