Subject:  [GNHLUG] NEXT MONDAY 10/6: CentraLUG: Arc Riley and Intrepid Ibex
Date:     Monday, September 29, 2008 9:27:36 AM

The monthly meeting of CentraLUG, the Concord/Central NH GNHLUG chapter,
happens the first Monday of most months at the New Hampshire Technical
Institute's Library, room 146, at 7 PM. Next month's meeting is on
October 6th at 7 PM. Directions and maps are available at
http://www.centralug.org Open to the public. Free admission. Tell your
friends.

At this meeting, Arc Riley will give us a preview of the beta version of
Ubuntu 8.10, "Intrepid Ibex"

About the presentation
======================

Ubuntu has been making inroads and gaining mindshare for the last couple
of years. Aggressive campaigning, slick graphics, and a clear guiding
philosophy of "Linux for Human Beings" have combined to make Ubuntu a
popular distribution for home and novice users, laptop users and
hobbyists interested in the cutting edge. Based loosely on the Debian
platform, it combines the strengths of the Debian tools with an
aggressive "release early, release often" schedule and helpful and
friendly community support.

At this presentation, Arc will show us some of the new innovations
coming with the next release of Ubuntu, version 8.10 (Year-Month),
nicknamed "Intrepid Ibex" and talk about his experiences over the years
with Ubuntu and the community around it.
