[OCLUG-Tech] Proposal for workshop series

Following the death of former OCLUG founding member Randal Leavitt, it was proposed with
some enthusiasm that OCLUG consider how to do something in his memory. At the November
Board meeting, the Board decided to initiate a series of workshops to be held at public
venues such as Public Libraries where the use of Linux or FLOSS tools would be presented.
We hope to arrange a series of these, lasting 2-4 hours, and are suggesting that the first
of these be an introduction to "GIMP: a free alternative to PhotoShop".

Sue Galvin, Randal's widow, has given her enthusiastic approval. Our tentative name for
these sessions is the Randal Leavitt Free/Libre Software Workshops.

If interested in helping out, please contact a member of the board, either in person at a
monthly meeting or via info [ at ] oclug [ dot ] on [ dot ] ca.
