7th meeting of the new rustington lug

We invited Desmond Armstrong to give a presentation at our weekly meeting and made an effort to publicise the event. We do have 27 names of people wo have attended or expressed interest and we had hoped for a good turn out. Alas the weather turned nasty and we had a few apologies. There was a plus in the fact that Derek had planned to attend another group on networking but due to the weather it had been cancelled!
In the end we were down to 7, but 7 is a lucky number.
Desmond and I shared mobile phone numbers and after 2 talks on the phone he agreed to set off. During the protracted waiting period my phone ran out of air time, but Derek was on the qui vive and answered Desmond once. He finally arrived at 4 pm and we were at the meeting by 4.15.
He kicked off with an introduction and then went for Pitivi, Flphoto, Gimp, Scribus, get i-player and then a Jacqui-Lawrence Advent Calendar! We overshot by 20 minutes so he had a full hour!
Fortunately the Woodlands Centre staff had gone home so we were ok. After a round of applause and a request for Desmond to come back again they let him go.
He stayed with us at home until he left ater lunch on Friday. I learned so much that my head is filled with Linux of all shapes and sizes. Especially Mandriva and F-secure not to mention Clonezilla.
Well done Desmond, a man with determination and a mission!

Thanks Desmond from all the rustington lug members.
