[ubuntu-za] Regional help and CDs

[Schalk-Willem Krüger]

I'm definitely in!
I'm trying to start a Ubuntu Community here - there are more linux users at
the NWU than I originally thought (although mostly novice users) and many
more that want to learn linux. I think it is a great idea to have regional
contacts and I will help where I can.
