Morning all,

As part of Software Freedom Day 2007, the Thanet Linux User Group will  
be running a series of Talks and Seminars aimed at various skill  
levels and expertise to aid people in the uptake of Linux and other  
Free/OpenSource Software.

In the run up to the event, we hope to have Ubuntu Live-CDs, Open-CDs  
and flyers in local shops, schools and other public information  
centres both advertising the event and allowing people to play with  
Linux and F/OSS before attending the day itself.

The Thanet Linux User Group welcomes papers on almost any subject that  
is associated with the F/OSS movement and would especially welcome  
talks along the lines of the following:

BEGINNER
--------
- I've got your CD, now what do I do?
- How easy is it to install Linux?
- Why should I make the switch?
- Why don't my games work?
- Where can I find support
- OpenOffice vs. MS Office - adjusting to the differences

INTERMEDIATE
------------
- Can I run my Website on Linux?
- How do I setup a basic email system?
- How do I compile a Kernel?
- NDIS Wrappers and closed drivers

EXPERT
------
- Server security and hardening
- Firewalls and network security
- Advanced Web/Email servers

All papers to be submitted by 31st July 2007 to  
papers.sfd@..., we will announce speakers, times and  
venues closer to the date as this is still being worked out.

Cheers,

Matt
