EGLUG courses

Manal's picture

تم اقتراح فكرة تقديم كورسات عن البرمجيات الحرة خاصة بـ EGLUG, يقوم بتقديمها أعضاء EGLUG لأعضاء EGLUG. تحدثنا مع العاملين بساقية عبد المنعم الصاوى فى إمكانية إسخدام معمل الكمبيوتر الخاص بهم, فتحمسوا جدا للفكرة و وافقوا عليها.

نريد الآن عمل قائمة بالكورسات التى يستطيع بعض الأعضاء تقديمها, و قائمة أخرى بالكورسات التى يريد الأعضاء تعلمها.

إذا كنت تريد تعلم أى شىء خاص بالبرمجيات الحرة, أو إذا كنت تستطيع إعطاء كورس عنها, اكتب ما تريد تعلمه أو ما تستطيع تقديمه فى هذا القسم.

So we want to make a list of the courses that some members are willing to give and a list of the courses the members want to have.

If u want to learn something or if u can give some course, plz post about it here.

cheers,
Manal

Nice Idea

this is very nice idea , it help the members with linux experince to get teaching experince and the newbies 'like me' to get the linux experince . but i know that to use the computer lab and the library in sakia u must be a member so all EGLUG going to be members in sakia ?and what about the fees?!. i think ' linux --> essential skills ' course will have great popularity.

THERE'S A FISHING , SO GO FISHING !!!!!

Re: Nice Idea

Sakia membership costs something like 20 or 30 LE a year, so its not a big deal at all, and they deserve it for all the help they're giving us.

hmm can you explain more what is Linux -> Essential Skills (what are the essential skills in your opinion)?

cheers,
Alaa

got Slack? get counted

YoussefAssad's picture

I'm in

Off the top of my head, I can volunteer to teach general desktop usage.

just to compete with the gunman!

any one want's to learn about xfce, teach him i can, much to teach about desktops there is not.

got Slack? get counted

YoussefAssad's picture

Really now...

We want to show people that linux is good.

Why would we do something silly like showing them xfce?

And where are my asbestos boxer shorts?

No but seriously, I think we could all do general desktop usage. It is not much more than just showing them how to press the power button and illustrating that just because it is linux and not windows doesn't mean it will blow up, and showing them the common programs, etc.

I am considering telling the Sakia people that they can announce these classes for their members in case we don't get enough people here who want to learn...

eglug members

it's a very nice idea of course, but why is it only for eglug members?? we can give courses to anyone who wants to get to linux. And this could be a very good beginning to free software, free courses!! people need to learn sharing and volunteering before they learn linux.

YoussefAssad's picture

Good point

I think we'll use the EGLUG meeting on 03/07 to finalize details of the courses, such as who can attend, how do we advertise, etc. I have spoken with the people at el Sakia and they would love to be bale to announce linux classes on their mailing list, which has as I recall 4,500 subscribers... That is one option.

YoussefAssad's picture

I like your input

We're planning on deciding all these things at the EGLUG meeting on 03/07 at El Sakia (yes, it is confirmed, noon). Please come to the meeting and give us this input.

Learn Linux => very good book

YoussefAssad's picture

A book for students?

snefru, you gave me a great idea; this book can be distributed to students at the EGLUG courses. Something to discuss at the meeting.

--

Best of the best books !!!!

Hi Youssef,

Distribute as long as it's in electronic format, not hard copies. Please, read the license carefully.

It may help to put the electornic form (*.html files & pdf files) on a CD and give it to attendees.

This book can work as a referrence, but for start => this is the best ever I saw ...browsing and printing..:

Get the whole parts for the courses:

- introductory level - intermediate level

Download and print as you can :)

Best Wishes...

Very good point

I'm glad you're looking at licensing. :)

Tell you what, can you bring these tihngs to the meeting so we can give them to the linux lab at El Sakia? That would be great. When we're there, remind me that you brought them and I'll introduce you to the people running it so you can explain to them what this is and how to use it.

Thanks :)

oh oh

There is an approval required on posts, is that new or just at some places

I'm not so comfort with that Kind Regards Kernel The Canine

Alaa's picture

only for anonymous comments

only anonymous comments require approval.

don't worry we don't plan to turn this into a hellish dictatorship.

and remember once the charter and policies are ratified they protect your rights, and also remember if you don't like them you can change them when they come up for review.

cheers,
Alaa

great idea

guys all of this ideas is gr8 ones .... but if we plan to do courses we must start with the basic of linux ...how to use it what is the open source operating system? why it is good? and so on .... i think Book as ( studying linux in 24 hours ) will be a good start as myself i will join this cours (itś just my opinion) -== Rules Are Made To Be Broken ==-

The thing is, average person

The thing is, average person dont care.

First show them that linux runs better than windows then tell them why linux is good and why opensource/GNU/Linux/GPL are good morally.

I for one moved to (gentoo) linux not because it was "free", I moved because it worked better for me and my needs.

Also using an easy to use distro is a good idea, mandrake is a good bet.

peace

YoussefAssad's picture

No no NOOOO!

This is not happening... OneofOne advocating... (GULP) MANDRAKE?

The universe will implode in fifteen minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, it was nice knowing you.

OneofOne :p

--

haha, well although i started

haha, well although i started with gentoo but I'm not crazy enough to recommend gentoo to first-timers, it can be a total turn off!

On a pentium4 2.2 it'd take around 36hours to get base system + xorg + kde, tell that to a newbie and he'll most likely leave linux for good.

peace

what research are you relying on

personaly I started using GNU/Linux because of the ideals of Free software, I very much doubt that we can know anything as elusive as motive for the average user without doing some proper research.

at the moment we're not strategising, any courses that can be done shall be done (murphy courses).

cheers,
Alaa
