Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Proposal for workshop series

Randal died?

Oh my go, I'm so sorry to hear that.

What happened? I haven't seenhim in a few years but I didn't expect that we
would loose him so quickly.

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.
