Setting in OpenOffice.org messed up? Scared you're going to mess up
your partitions?Heard you could get a free operating system, but not
sure where to start?
You've come to the right place!
Ubuntu Hours are a time when new users can come and ask questions
without being afraid they will be made to feel stupid by experienced
users. It's also a time when you won't feel crowded out by other
discussions. It may not always be 1-on-1 support, but it will be close
and might even be a better ratio!
--------------------------------------------------------
As for Ubuntu Hour instructors, in the words of Ubuntu Loco leader Anthony Hook:
'It’s a pretty laid-back event with little expectations. If nobody
asks one week, maybe you’ll talk to 4 people the next week. It’s a
good time to get some coffee, catch up on some work, or just browse
the Internet. I’ll probably even take pictures of where I am each
week.
Please, don’t forget to document, tell us what you’ve been up to, when
and where you are, etc.'
Also, while we want someone with significant Ubuntu experience there
to help, don't be shy if you are a Debian or Fedora (or any other
distro). There may be technical people showing up that are just new to
Linux and Ubuntu may not be the best distro for them. Not a knock on
Ubuntu in any way, it's just that as a LUG, we really shouldn't be
presenting things as Ubuntu == Linux.
Please let us know if you'd like to help out! It's only a one-hour
commitment and it's only once a month max and we've got plenty of
people helping!
