In September, we had Software Freedom Day instead of our usual Beginner's 
Workshop, but now we're back to The Hub! Help us make it a success by coming 
along on Oct 17th.

Note:November will be different! Read below for more details. 
However, the October beginners workshop is on as normal on the 3rd Saturday.

We intend to cover things like:

  * installing various linux distributions;
  * tweaking and configuring your system;
  * automatic backups;
  * home networking, including wireless;
  * setting up specific platforms (e.g. mythtv, asterisk, ubuntustudio, etc);
  * using specific applications - openoffice, inkscape, gimp, openmoviestudio

... but if you want help with a different application or problem, come along 
and let us know. The event is what you make of it. Bring your laptop!
