Talks
At the ScotLUG meeting it has been agreed it would be a good idea to start new users into Linux with introductions to the Free software community and the Linux distribution system.
After the install an introduction to a few common apps would be helpful.
Social event
Should we have a social event afterwards and if so what should it be?
Where
The Saltire Centre appears to be the perfect venue and drochaid is going to contact the venue to see if they would be willing to host the event.
There are two large areas with power sockets at the desks and couches available with a room to the side for the various talks going on during the day.

Put your name below (or email to the list, shout up on IRC) if you are willing to help get more people using Linux.
