Hello to all of my fellow Californians!! My name is Charlie and I live here in Apple Valley and I'm gathering "intel" to put together an Ubuntu Hour for the locals.
My History: I've been using ubuntu linux in some form since 2006. I started out with the basic Ubuntu and changed over to Ubuntu Studio for a while but realized it was more software choices than I needed at the time since I wasn't doing much with graphical design or music production so I changed over to Linux Mint which I really enjoyed a lot and stuck with it until about two months and then I switched back Ubuntu Studio to be able to utilize all of the software it has in its packages for my new journalism job.
So here's the deal. I'm going to start looking around and asking shop managers if it would be ok to host an Ubuntu Hour in their store so that I can help promote ubuntu linux in this area. I've got several great towns to visit such as Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto, Oro Grande and of course Apple Valley. I may even do something in Barstow as well since that's only about 20 minutes or so from me.
The purpose of this post is to just give any of you who may live close to me in one of the listed towns or maybe in another one but still fairly close by, a heads up about my interest in doing this. I think it'll be a lot of fun and I love to teach people about new things.
So let me check around and see if I can find a landing spot for us and I'll update this post with the intel.
