[ubuntu-nz] Wellington Ubuntu Gathering?

[D F]

Hi, Im Dan and I just recently became interested in Ubuntu. Being somewhat
new to working with Ubuntu I recently broke my windows 7 trying to work with
partitions, but thats another story.

Anyway I was wondering if there any events, seminars, group discussions,
support groups etc that happen within Wellington at any time??

If not is there any interest in setting something up? Maybe even an informal
gathering to start with?

I work in a community minded organisation as a Youth Support Worker and as
such may be able to host a small gathering in my workplace, but this all
relys on a display of interest and some external support (not financial just
organisational).

One of my personal ideas is to create a distribution of Ubuntu pre-loaded
for students in college and university that cannot afford mainstream OS or
software. Ive already been advocating for OpenOffice in my personal life and
had great responses but finding Ubuntu has opened up so many more options I
would love to explore.

Anyway thats my two cents to the equation for now, if someone could get in
touch with me to develop the group meeting idea or put it in perspective
that would be great.

Im definately an amatuer but Im keen to learn and hope I can be of some use
in the effort to advocate for Ubuntu.

Cheers,

Dan
