I would like to give a course during October on general computing.
Please respond if you are interested so that I may schedule and
otherwise plan it.
I suggest that we hold the course once per week for three weeks. I
propose the meeting time to be Monday nights, Wednesday nights, Friday
nights, or Saturday afternoons. Please say something if you care when
the course is held; if nobody tells me anything, I'll choose randomly. I
am also happy to hold more than three meetings if people find that they
want more.
During the first session, I will demonstrate the particular softwares
that I use. (I will give a similar talk at SFK.) In the remaining
sessions, I will walk participants through the installation,
configuration, and usage of the software. At the moment, I plan on
introducing software for news (newsbeuter), dictionary (dictd),
encyclopedia (kiwix, kiwix-serve), file transfer (rsync), writing (vim),
search engine (recoll), and maybe email (nmh or offlineimap+mutt).
