TOPICS?

Whatever the newest user needs to know.

The newest user in the meeting may select the topics.

We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving and effective techniques.

We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use. However, it has many benefits.

We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.

A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.

Order of Events:

First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.

Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.

Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
