FreeGeek is a group that collects up old corporate computers
refurbishes them and redeploys them. Last evening I was out at the
FreeGeek warehouse space near Keele St. and Dundas St. W. doing an
introductory talk on Ubuntu (basically a re-hash of some of my other
talks). At the end of the talk I wondered aloud what to do in future
and I asked if there was any interest in doing a MythTV building
workshop... A few of the folks at FreeGeek expressed an interest, and
I gather that getting the classroom space at FreeGeek is not an issue
on Thursday evenings...

So, would there be an interest in doing a MythTV building workshop
some Thursday evening at some point in the next few weeks among GTALug
folks and/or the GTA MythTV list folks? If so, what Thursday? Things I
could easily bring to the event:

- MythTV compatible analog TV card(s)
- Rabbit ear TV antenna (ie: a TV signal source good enough for demo purposes)
- Mythbuntu 10.4 install disk(s)

Things that available at FreeGeek that we could almost certainly borrow:

- Internet connection
- Video projector
- old PC(s) (P4 2.4 MHz)

Thoughts?

Colin.
