Free CDs from a giant penguin !

ubuntu Canada team and Big Tux

Did you see a giant penguin at Yonge and Dundas Square ?
Did a fresh-faced young geek give you a CD ?

Then you have just taken part in Operation Cold Comfort; a promotional effort by Ubuntu Canada, designed to co-incide with the launch of Microsoft Vista (tm) and to tell as many people as possible about this great free alternative.

Ubuntu Workshop

Thanks Dave Sullivan for your workshop on Ubuntu and thanks to the people at the Linux Café for hosting it. Dave did the impossible; answered all our questions and kept to his agenda despite some video technical problems. In addition to learning about Ubuntu, an animal rights activist from the audience freed a Goldfish and we got to watch it swim about the desktop. If you haven't tried this just press Alt+F2 and type “free the fish” (without the quotes).

New-to-ubuntu Workshop

ubuntu-egg
A delightful dozen people showed up to find out more about their favorite new operating system. We learned a lot; the install, partitioning your drive, how to install and uninstall applications, and why you should always check to make sure your demo laptop works with the projector BEFORE the workshop ;-) Thanks to Dave Sullivan, for a solid presentation, and let's do this again regularly, OK ?

PYthon-GTA monthly meeting

For quite some time now, we have held weekly, informal, python un-coiling sessions, on Wednesday evenings.
This Tuesday, however, was the first time that the "official" Python-GTA group held their monthly git-together at linuxcaffe. It looks as though this will become the regular monthly thang. It's usually the last Tuesday of the month. check out our calendar or the Py-GTA meetings page.

Newton Users meeting

The folks who think the Apple Newton Message Pad (and later eMate) are still cool, met at linuxcaffe yesterday (Sunday, Oct 24th) and they seemed to have a blast !
newton The open wireless connection is essential for them, 'cause the little fellers ain't got the wherewithall to deal with the WEP, nor the authentication hurdles. They may well make it a monthly thing. Stay tuned.
