1:07:00
and you sort of write a manifesto
1:07:02
and it spreads out through the world
1:07:05
and a year later
1:07:06
the vice president of Microsoft is talking about that
1:07:10
You'd think you were on drugs, wouldn't you?
1:07:14
But that's what really happened
1:07:23
The Local Users Groups
tend to be more than an issue of
1:07:30
building a social network
1:07:34
especially getting people familiarized with the issues
1:07:43
also just acting as a kind of supporting network
1:07:48
for people who, who do not, for example,
have the ability
1:07:54
to pay for commercial support network
1:07:58
So one thing they're doing in this area
1:08:01
for example, is they're making these.
1:08:04
I think it's once a month
1:08:06
They're having install fests, which means that
1:08:11
people who have problems getting Linux
installed on their machines
1:08:16
or have some issue, I mean
1:08:18
maybe they've installed Linux
1:08:19
but want to set up the network in a specific way
1:08:23
can actually bring in their machines
1:08:25
to this users group meeting
1:08:26
And there's a lot of people there willing to help
1:08:31
who may have seen the same problem before.
1:08:46
Well, actually things aren't so well.
1:08:48
I tried it earlier myself. I had problems.
1:08:52
And so I came to this install fest where
1:08:55
all the gurus abound.
1:08:57
Hopefully I'll have better luck getting it in.
