Jani Monoses: Local Ubuntu, Kiwi, OLPC and Launchpad presentations

[Administrator]

To celebrate the new releases of Ubuntu and of its local derivative, Kiwi Linux [1], last Saturday our LUG held a presentation for students and other interested people at the Technical University in Cluj. The talks covered Ubuntu 7.10, Kiwi 7.10, OLPC, Launchpad usage and community involvment. With about 50 attendees it was the liveliest and most successful of our events to date. Ubuntu is steadily gaining users here as well

Kiwi CDs were given out, the XO laptop shown around and the students were encouraged to join the local community and to try picking uni assignments that can be done only using free software, in which case we’ll help them on the way.

[1] yes, misleadingly named in hindsight, but besides Romanian and Hungarian it still supports English, so it is suited for New Zealand as well
