Hello, In February last year I started some faltering fortnightly arts workshops in Reading, UK, with six machines running Kubuntu Linux at the heart of the operation. The workshops were part of Remix Reading, a pioneering free culture project that aimed to bring the gospel of free culture and free software to the ordinary, non-geeky people of Reading. The workshops stalled because of a lack of time and money to get them going regularly. Well now the workshops are back and running regular as clockwork, being run by Remix Reading's successor - RAVE. They're current "analogue", in that the computers are dormant and they're based around media like good old fashioned instruments, graffiti and dance. They're being funded by income from parties and gigs so the money is no longer a worry. But I no longer live in Reading, and they need help with the Linux boxes! If you live near enough and could spare a Saturday or two to go in and fix them up, help them learn how to use Kubuntu and some audio production software, and get the networking sorted, RAVE and I would be eternally grateful! The next workshop is on Sat 21st April from midday, and every fortnight thereafter. The main work that would interest this list is setting the machines up with suitable software for music production, and helping the people there learn to use it. The workshop attendees are mostly local kids, including some from a refugee support group. The RAVE people are all sorts, but none of them have any Linux experience. Is anyone interested? Oh, and they're putting on a summer festival that Linux Audio could have a presence at: http://www.mosaicfestival.com Kind regards, Tom -- The struggle against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting - Kundera _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
