[wellylug] Linux Expo

[Jeff Hunt]

Whoever organises and at whatever level,  for both commerce and private this
is an idea whose time has come.
Commerce needs support to move into Open Source and private users just need
support. I have helped a number of individuals to start with Ubuntu and for
some it has stuck and they become fans.
Linux need not be an arcane secret anymore. I hope those of you with the
expertise and courage give it a go.
I can offer experience of getting naive users on their way.
