Hi LUGgies,
A suggestion for the monthly talks. In the past, based on the couple
of talks i've attended (maybe am stereotyping) but i felt they're more
programmer-centric. Though i benefited a great deal and learnt about
the technologies that underpin the GNU / Linux & FOSS ecosystem, I
would also love to hear on certain user-specific content. Perhaps one
session could be targeted towards beginners. This could help in
bringing new people as well.
My two cents worth -
- A moderated healthy discussion / review by panel on various distros
(Ubunutu, Mint, Debian,Fedora , etc)
- Discussion on features of various desktop environments (Mate,
Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE)
- Sessions on productivity s/w (Libreoffice and its kind)
- Multimedia editing tools available in opensource / linux
- How-to-do's of day-to-day desktop tasks.
- etc
If someone says Linux is not user-friendly and idiot-proof, am an
antithesis to that statement. ;-)
Will be happy to hear your views and love to see the suggestion
getting implemented.
Cheers,
Anand
