FOSSBOX ICT Training

Fossbox workshops have women facilitators where possible as women are underrepresented in ICT – they make every effort to provide a welcoming environment which respects diversity and encourages participation.

Fossbox CIC is kicking off an Autumn of free workshops on Software Freedom Day with a barbie. More details of all their workshops can be found at www.fossbox.org.uk/blog

Ubuntu Taster & Installation Workshop - 12 October 2010
Would you like to get a new lease of life from existing PCs, servers and laptops? Or learn about innovations in low-power/space-saving computers? Ubuntu  is a fully-featured Desktop environment which can provide a user-friendly alternative to Windows or Mac OS. We’ll show you around Ubuntu and some of the software available for it and walk you through installing it.

Raise your profile with online video - 20 October 2010
Most people find information in videos much easier to take in than text, but it's not always easy for organisations to make and share podcasts. This is easy and free on the Ubuntu Desktop using the PiTiVi video editor. Podcasts can be uploaded to YouTube and from there can be easily integrated with a Wordpress website.
