Hi Friends, The Naarm Solarpunk Meetup has a really big attendance in Feb, about 70 people came, and we got something like 200 people joining our meetup group online. The crowd was very mixed, some folks really experienced with FOSS, and a fair few non technical people really frustrated at big tech. We advertised our March meetup as being less talky, and more "computers out" to help each other get off big tech. We also have a group of volunteers who will be there going through our process to setup a Raspberry Pi web using serving a wikipedia mirror. We've got a smaller crowd coming to that, it's 22 registered at present, I expect that to rise until the event next Wednesday, but of course not everyone will turn up. So, I guess the reach out to my fellow linux enthusiasts is, if there were one or two people in this group who wanted to come along and help people install linux, I think that'd be valuable. There are obviously a bunch of us there who can help with that, but there will be a bit going on and someone focused just on that would probably have more impact. If you think that might be you, feel free to drop me a line. The event in next Wednesday 18th, at a makerspace in Brunswick, details here <https://www.meetup.com/merri-bek-tech/events/313348997/>. For context, people who need help are likely to new to the journey, so it might be a case of helping someone dual boot with Windows if they are a newcomer, or I have at least one person who has been doing that a couple of years and now would like to re-partition to remove windows. If these folks are not super technical, I'd prefer if we offer them ubuntu so they have overlap to help each other. Jade
