- | |||
- | ==== NEWLINUX - Dec 26th, 2023 ==== | ||
- | // SUMMARY: | ||
- | Previously named Hazelwood LUG (HZWLUG), then Newcomer LUG (NEWLUG). Now, Newcomer Linux User Group is designated as NEWLINUX. | ||
- | The NEWLINUX home page lists a number of topics to provide general directions from which we could start. | ||
- | Usually no presentation; so, held as a **Beginner Workshop** offering installation and configuration help. | ||
- | Topics are usually determined by attendees. We usually cover way more than one topic. | ||
- | // | ||
- | * [[http://newlug.sluug.org |NEWLUG]] was how we named our Linux Users Group (LUG) for Linux Newcomers. | ||
- | * [[http://newlinux.org |NEWLINUX]] is name that we can frequently use for our Newcomer Linux Users Group. | ||
- | * Fourth Tuesday of the month. | ||
- | * Free format, no presentation. Always up to attendance as to what is covered. | ||
- | * 2023-08-28 Comments for September: None | ||
- | * 2023-10-02 Comments: None. | ||
- | * 2023-10-30 Comments for November: | ||
- | * Again had some difficulty and delay opening up public JITSI session. Also there were frequent drop outs during meeting. | ||
- | * Made a bookends slide-work for this Beginner Workshop meeting. Bookends working somewhat well with Announcements and main topic of Remote Support. | ||
- | * Gary went to private home site to assist a low expertise Linux user. The user was running Linux Mint 19 that was getting End-of-Support notifications. | ||
- | * One new attendee later wrote that he was having some unreproducible problem signing up for ANNOUNCE mailing list. Sent him signup nomination. | ||
- | * Two, and possibly four new attendees ( not sure, because they only would put in first names ). | ||
- | * Because Gary was providing on site assistance, he wasn't keeping watch on chat room activity. | ||
- | * Phil B helped a little bit with chat; but, looking at the recording later, a lot of chat postings seemed to have been missed. | ||
- | * Frequent attendees Wayne S and Tony C were very helpful with lots of input during the meeting. | ||
- | * 2023-12-04 Comments: None | ||
- | * 2024-01-03 Comments: | ||
- | * Larger than expected turn out for da after Xmas. Phil Bunch ran the meeting because Stan screwed up sound. Only later phoned in. | ||
- | * Had two female newcomers. Good thing they couldn't hear Stan cussing. | ||
