Great to see more enthusiasm pouring in. You are quite right in saying that things have been pretty "dead" so far and it would be great to see a lot more activity on the mailing list, forum and wiki site. I definitely like the idea of meeting up on a regular basis too.

I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 Hard Heron, Desktop Edition, just upgraded from Gusty Gibbon (7.10) I have experience with Suse Enterprise Desktop 10.2 (I once had a working relationship with Novel Zimbabwe), RedHat 7 up to 9 on the Desktop and Server. I have also played with Fedora Core, Knoppix & Yellow Dog Linux on a Power Book. I am a member of the Harare Linux User Group (HLUG) and Zimbabwe Open Software Society (ZOSS). I was actively involded in organising and running the Linux Expo some two years ago as part of IT Africa. I have also succesfuly organised and run a Suse Install Fest, with Novel Zimbabwe. I am interested in Commercial Enterprise Open Source solutions, OrangeHRM, Adaptive Planing, Project Open, Banana Pos and many more. I am more than willing to take part in bringing Ubuntu to Zimabwe and make it a distro of choice both on Server and Desktop side. I also have iso images of Hard Heron, 32 Bit, both the Live and Alternate CD. I have noted with concern that our mailing list and forums are "dead" (the biggest challenge at HLUG and ZOSS), lets start to generate some buzz and communicate using the lists, wiki and build a strong community, once we have a critical mass will then start weekly, bi-weekly or monthly meeting and presentations. I am interested in running a Hard Heron instalfest, does anyone have space with enough power points, tables, chairs that we can use? I will take some time to make changes and contributions to the team wiki site. If you will like to make telephone contact, please use the office land line: 04 852 807/9, I am not mobile at the moment. Regards Ronald Munjoma "Bring back the fun into computing.
