[NetBehaviour] [Fossbox Announce]

[Ruth Catlow]

Great stuff coming out of Fossbox in London at the moment.

Summer's here (well, sort of . . . ) so if you need to revive a limp and
unmanageable WinXP/Vista PC or Laptop with a Summer-fresh installation
of Ubuntu, just drop it off at our workshop - we're offering Ubuntu
refurbs for £40 (email info at fossbox.org.uk for info or an appointment). 

Or DIY - the official Ubuntu beginners' guide and manual is free to
download and tells you how to get Ubuntu, install it, and then find your
way around and it really is easy to follow for non-techies.

Ubuntu in Business - Free Event
Ubuntu UK is putting on an event aimed at businesses and small
organisations. Learn about how Ubuntu is being deployed in UK businesses
and how you can introduce Ubuntu safely and effectively within your
organisation. All welcome - especially non-techies!  
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM at The Brickhouse, 152c
Brick Lane, E1 6RU
http://ubuntuinbusiness.eventbrite.com/

Fossbox will be offering taster sessions in Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) as
well as simple websites with Wordpress (www.wordpress.org) and
multimedia/podcasting. Stay tuned, we'll be ready to announce these
soon. 

If you're still stuck, Ubuntu-UK Support Team have told us they're happy
to give free help and advice to any voluntary org Ubuntu users live in
their chatroom - more info here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/IRC 
If you can't work out how to get there from their website, email
info at fossbox.org.uk for a helpsheet (I know - it's a tad ironic to need
help to find the help channel but it's free when you get there!)

Digital Rights Conference
If you're interested in UK Digital Rights, Open Rights is holding a
conference on 
Saturday, July 24, 2010 from 10:30 AM - 6:00 at College Building, City
University, St John St, EC1
http://orgcon.eventbrite.com/

Lastly, for those of you who missed them, the presentations from the
last round of Fossbox social media training can be viewed here:

Have a good weekend,
Paula
