Dear List,
I've been accepted here (thanks!) and quietly reading the list for the last few
months, but I thought it's time to come forward a bit now: I'd be happy to help
with the April event.
I'm no professional, I just have had Linux as a user for 15 years now. I
started with Suse+KDE back then, later searched for something simpler and
switched to Ubuntu with Gnome in 2003. I escaped the Gnome 3 era when it came
by turning to Xubuntu which I'm happily using ever since. At my amateur level
I'm organising my life mostly around the terminal, relying heavily on alpine,
vim (including vim-calendar for Google and an org-mode extension), rsync across
machines at home/in work and various simple bash scripts that make my life
enormously comfortable. :-)
English is not my first language and this becomes apparent to anyone after a
few moments of hearing me. But I've been in Bristol for more than 3 yeas now
and I think I can communicate well.
If you can use me I'd be happy to contribute to the Linux Presentation Day next
April.
Kind Regards,
Marton Balazs

Ok it seems that you are a bit more than just reasoanbly experienced with
Desktop Linux, and have actualy used it for a bit longer than me as well.
Which distro/s do you currently run at home and work, Xubuntu? What's your
Linux using job as well?

Yes you will/would be of use, and thank you for volunteering :). By the way
how did you find out about the LUG in the first place and when?
I assume you haven't been to any of the LUG meetings yet, but I hope to
meet at the LUG meeting next month, next year, in Jan, and maybe at a event
organisers/helpers meeting next month before the LUG meeting as well.

I lost the original email message that was going to send: Asking you
properly if you wanted to help with organising of the event, and then being
at the event as an organiser as well, or just on the day as a on the day
helper, didn't get into my new email response.

Xubuntu, both home and work. (Except for a Sheevaplug at home which runs
Debian.)

I'm at the University. Luckily they are happy with some of us using Linux
there.

Ok, let me know how. I'll be happy with whichever role you assign to me, maybe
I should start with something simple. :-) I'll try to make it to the next
meeting to discuss.
> By the way how did you find out about the LUG in the first place and when?
I think it was before the previous Presentation Day. The ad came through a
university mailing list.

It will be mostly demoing, plus got certain other tasks that should be done
as well, that aren't technical.

time.
