Dorling Kindersley Linux
I’ve not seen them myself, but apparently the Works bargain bookshop opposite "John Lewis" in Broadmead are selling Introductory Linux books published by Dorling Kindersley at a £1 a copy! One for the Xmas stocking.
Course Materials
I’ve started writing Course Materials (Students Notes and Session plans) for our free introductory courses for novices on the "TempWiki", so if anyone want’s to join in they’d be more than welcome, you can see the sort of format it’s supposed to be in, fairly clearly, I think. http://irvken.homelinux.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/TrainingNotes Spell and grammar checking would be […]
Suse in the ICT Suite
Yesterday we got into the ICT Suite thanks to Nigel from Easton Community Association ( trivia: Nigel used to be in Orchestral Manoeuvres in The Dark!) and with the help of Tall Paul we got all the machines dual booting between their default Windows OS and Suse. Partitioning was fast, the install was quick and […]
Membership
Another thing that came up at the last meeting is the question of what constitutes membership? The Rules of the Bristol Wireless Community Co-Operative Ltd. state: 5. The Committee may admit to membership any person or corporate body, or nominee of any unincorporated organisation or firm, who or which is living, working or active within […]
Tutors (payments)
At the last meeting Andy Laurence suggested that if tutors were going to be paid for the courses being run at ECC (which has not been confirmed yet) , it might be a good idea if the payments were paid back into the Bristol Wireless "pot" to fund other projects and development work. On a […]

Website News
Several new items added to the website news page. Most people will find the website first I expect, so we need to keep it up to date.

Matt’s excellent Bristol Wireless network diagram
Unfortunately, Matt’s excellent network diagram has disappeared into the ether since this article was first published in October 2003. Our sincere apologies. 🙂

If we do this it might be a […]
Training News
Rich and Sean from Bristol Wireless have arranged with ECC to use their computer suite to put on computing training for novices using Open-Source materials. The idea is to get in the recipients of the recently distributed Suse installed machines and give them an introductory grounding in using the Operating Sytem. The course we have […]
Bristol Wireless in Windows Shocker!
I thought it had happened, well I had major suspicions anyway, and am sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but many of the machines we gave away on the Give Away Day appear to have gone out with Windows still installed, albeit dual boot. The Suse installation disks if left to their own […]
