jedijfginos was a let down for me, not like i remember it12:02
jedijfi wanted the 1970's giant12:03
jedijfwant12:03
jedijfneed12:03
JonathanDjedijf: my understanding is old-ginos was more of a mcdonalds clone.12:03
JonathanDBut uh, I wasn't there :P12:03
jedijfi would even take their at the end hero burger12:03
jedijfthe giant was the mac12:03

JonathanDwaltman: wonder if there is clear access at the library.15:55
waltmanJonathanD: No idea.15:57
JonathanDI could bring my home box along.15:57
waltmanIt's really annoying to me that it's so locked down, because it limits how much work I can get done when I'm there.15:57
JonathanDand an AP15:57
JonathanDand we'd have open internet.15:57
waltmanDon't go to too much trouble.15:58

TCorwinGood afternoon everyone! I was wondering, does anyone have any good topics to talk about at a presentation about Ubuntu? I'm hosting a presentation that is open to the public in western PA. There will be some newbies to Ubuntu as well as people who have never heard of Ubuntu. I'm not exactally sure what to talk with them about.19:32
JonathanDHey TCorwin19:32
TCorwinHello JonathanD19:33
jedijfTCorwin: seems that you need to start with what is linux - then ways to try linux - then a brief overview of a linux desktop (your choice)19:37
jedijfhow long do you plan your presentation to be?19:38
TCorwinjedigf, my presentation is approximately 2 hours and the main topic is "Ubuntu 12.04/12.10: What Is It and How Do You Use It?"19:39
jedijfunfortunately the amount covered is determined by the unknown variable of the attendees, but those 3 parts i mentioned are a good start - ending with how to get help via mailing lists, forums, and irc19:41
jedijfmuch like you did ;)19:41
jedijfemphasis on part 2 - ways to try linux -19:42
jedijfand the end - what to do when you think you're alone - but you're really not19:44
TCorwinI'm assuming that the amount of attendees will be as little as 10 people at the most. I originally tried to get help from the ubuntu-us-pa mailing list, but to no avail. This is my first time using irc, so it took me awhile to get the hang of it. I was also wondering if there are any "free" CD distributions of 12.04 that i could hand out as a starter. i could also possibly send you my presentation after i am finished for a review 19:46
jedijfTCorwin: i saw your email - was going to respond over the weekend, if possible - when is the presentation?19:49
TCorwinthe presentation is on November 15th.19:50
JonathanDYou have no idea on audience composition though?19:50
JonathanDIs this an existing group of some sort you'll be presenting to?19:51
jedijfif you email an adress at jedijf at myfisher dot org i'll send 10 12.10 dvd's19:51
jedijfyou could always burn some 12.04's19:51
jedijfshow how to make a bootable live usb stick so they can try19:52
TCorwinJonathanD: i do not know the composition. And i will be a standalone presenter. I am just doing a presentation to the open public. Anyone can come, no one specific.19:53
TCorwinjedijf: thank you. I will email you here soon with an address. The only reason i asked, is because i dont have any cds. And i was going to show them that as well.19:54
jedijfkeep it simple - stay within what *you* know - if you don't know, tell them that19:54
jedijfthe first part - what is linux - go fast - no one really cares - part 2 how they can try - make sure they are getting, or slow down - look for deer in headlight look - virtual - live cd - live dvd - live usb - etc - part 3 depends on your desktop pick - part 4 (HELP) is most vital so they can continue19:56
jedijfon their own19:57
