Hi Fellow LUG Members
In about four weeks time, some of us from this LUG group will be holding
an event at Cafe Kino in Stokes Croft in the centre of Bristol, between
12 mid day and 6pm. It would be great and absolutely awesome, if we
could get at least two more people to help us on the day, from our LUG
group. Yes at least only two more people! Ideally at least three more!
To help with the event its irrelevant how experienced you are, or not,
with Linux and other open source software, since our LUG's event for
Linux Presentation Day ( http://linux-presentation-day.org ) is aimed
at the general public.
If you can actually make the event on the day of Saturday 22nd October
of next month, why not help us out? If you would prefer not being there
the whole six hours, you can get back to me about times you would like
to help during. If you are interested in helping on the day and I do not
already know that, please do make sure to get back to me about that, and
we would ideally like to have helpers for the whole six hours. Also I
have booked in the venue for an extra hour in the morning and an extra
hour in the evening as well. That gives the option to possibly let
people in a bit earlier once set up enough, and even run the event for a
bit longer as well, before packing up, etc.
Being there on the day is one way to help with our LUG's event, but
other ways would be for example, helping us get a large enough amount of
USB sticks for the event to be used mostly by Ubuntu, but probably one
more other distro as well. Another would be to be there with a lap top
that can be used as well to demonstrate Desktop Linux. Or maybe even,
if you just happen to have one, being there with a small enough Linux
based robot, to make things more interesting. Generally most people find
robots interesting enough or so it seems.
If you have certain Linux or open source based things from other events
for example, or in general, that no longer would like to keep, depending
on what it is, our LUG's event may be an opportunity to pass it on to
other people. If so please get back to me about that. Generally I would
like a good selection of freebies, so more than just Ubuntu and Creative
Commons, and probably Libre Office as well.
If you happen to be like me, and have certain Linux based devices that
could be interesting to show to the public, and can make the event date
and times, I am interested to know what you have. The event is about
showing Linux in a few of it's forms, however mostly focused on the
desktop and mobile. To make the event more interesting will also be
demonstrating Creative Commons.
Our LUG's event for Linux Presentation Day 2016 (
http://linux-presentation-day.org.uk ) is mentioned in certain places
online such as the event venue website, our LUG website, Whats On
Bristol website events calendar, and even Skiddle.
The Event Facebook presence ideally needs to be improved, and have much
more people ideally putting on there that they are going, or are
interested in possibly coming. Personally I do not have many Facebook
followers, and most people I have on Facebook wouldn't be interested in
this event as well, or so it seems. Please help to get the event known
about by people in general and also our LUG events Facebook:
http://facebook.com/LPDBristolUK
Our actual event description etc is on the LUG website for example, (
http://bristol.lug.org.uk ) however the description is also below:
Best Regards
Sebastian
Members of the Bristol and Bath Linux User Group are holding a Linux
Presentation Day event on Saturday October 22nd 2016, between 12 noon
and 6pm with free entry, at Cafe Kino, 108 Stokes Croft, Bristol, BS1
3RU; conveniently located in the centre of Bristol.
We will be demonstrating how easy it can be to set up a standard laptop
or desktop PC with Linux. As well as giving away DVD/USB's to try out or
install Linux, along with other fun freebies.
Since the world has become much more mobile in recent years, mobile
Linux will be demonstrated at the event in various forms.
We will also be demonstrating Creative Commons which is focussed on the
sharing of multimedia and creative works. At the event we will be giving
an idea as to what it's about, including a showcase of Creative Commons,
music, movies, and graphics.
Why not come along on the day and drop in for a bit?

Hi
This Saturday is another one of our usual LUG meeting's in Temple Quay
at the Knight's Templar Pub near Temple Mead's train station. Where
people usually turn up between 1:30pm and then leave usually between 5
and 6pm. Where we also sit on the lower level at the back of the pub
when entering, in the left hand side corner by the plugs or near there
instead if someone else is already there.
However next month is special, because now this LUG is going to be one
of the very first UK, but also European etc, LUG's to take part in Linux
Presentation Day: http://linux-presentation-day.org.uk Cafe Kino is
booked in as the venue, see my previous details for some more general
event details, and also a request for more general event help. However
the event description is below.
Who is intending on being at the LUG meeting this Saturday I wonder and
at what times I wonder, but also Cafe Kino next month I wonder, and the
times?
Best Regards
Sebastian

I know I'm not often at the meetings, but I can make both next Sat and
Oct 22.
I have a laptop, with Mint 17.3 Rosa on it, I can bring, but for
demonstration of software that is already on it, not for installation of
a new Linux. But just being there to answer questions, I hope will be
useful.
