<P>Um, I'm sure we can think of a lot of good ideas. I just wonder if some type of introductory sessions could be provided to educate the non-computer types. Set some specific short sessions that show the artists how to use the Ubuntu applications for drawing/illustrating/video editing. Music groups could learn the audio software too.</P>
<P>Other hobbies that would benefit from Ubuntu? I'm surprised when I see someone buying expensive special interest software. Perhaps we can devise a list of free software that is included in Ubuntu (should already be a list somewhere) that could be distributed at Penguicon.</P>
