Jaunty Release-Party Ghent 09/05

I’m glad to announce:

On the 9th of may, there will be a Jaunty release party in Ghent! (free entrance)

First Promo Poster

The goal(s):

  • to provide general information on Ubuntu, Linux & FOSS, and show them you don’t need to be a pro to start using it
  • guiding people trough the sea of alternatives for proprietary software such as MS Office, Live Messenger, Photoshop, Publisher, Windows Media Player, Picture managers,…
  • help people getting Ubuntu installed on their laptop if they bring one along
  • show each-other nice tweaks you’ve got up your sleeves or admire the work of others
  • demo’s on how to use Ubuntu in an efficient way
  • introducing people to the Ubuntu-be LoCo-team! Let them know what we do, how they benefit & help.
  • hand out Ubuntu cd’s

Promo PosterThe Audience:

  • Everybody is welcome! Young people, old people, Dutch people, French people and of course all the other people, yes that means YOU!
    The talks will be kept easy to understand and not-technical so it will be a nice place to get in touch with Ubuntu, even for computer illiterates.
  • We’ll expect at least 25 people, and I personally hope on a 40 to 50 people to show up.

Where?

This event will take place in the Curieuze Neuze.
This is a resto/pub with on the upper floor a room that’s used as a showroom for artists.
