'Twas me I admit it. I'd shelved it for a month or two, though i have been 
giving it some thought and enquiring about a venue. I was going to save the 
first meeting until June with the aim of starting a 10-12 week "Intro to 
Linux/Open Source for Newbies" but am presently considering bringing it 
forward because I'd like to be well prepared and do lots of publicity to gets 
the crowds in.
I'm going to take Monday night off work to go to the workshop @ UCC. If 
anyone interested in helping out with this please accost me (I'm the tall, 
skinny, ugly guy with glasses - no, not that one, the other one ;-) ) Perhaps 
a preliminary meeting may be arranged.

Neither am I. Infact I'm not far off newbie myself, and that's perhaps one of 
the reasons I want to do this. The memories of being absolutely confused are 
still fresh in my mind. Plus I desperately want to see a decent software 
regime being used in education, my field of study.
BTW, a set of tutorials for more advanced topics has been discussed and is on 
the cards (ie: shell scripting, networking, etc) but we thought that we'd get 
first things done first. :-)
