Compusale Linux talk

[Robert Brockway]

Hi all.  Compusale (a trade show) want someone to do some Linux talks in a 
couple of weeks.  I did 3 of these talks when Compusale as in Mississauga 
a few months back.

Anyone interested?  I had a good time but am just too busy at the moment.

The audience tend to know next to nothing about Linux and often aren't 
strong in computing generally so a low tech, high graphics talk is 
probably the best approach.

The audiences for the earlier talks were primary interested in reasons 
they'd like to make the jump.  I talked about a few different apps. 
Interestingly lyx got a bit of interest as did The Gimp.  Firefox would be 
a good one to bring up.  I had a fairly long Question & Answer section at 
the end of each talk and this seemed to be very successful.  I got a 
chance to explain why open standards are a good thing and why imbeddeding 
parts of the browser in the kernel is insane (as a certain OS has done).

We don't need a guru for these talks.

Cheers,

Rob
