Newcomer Simón Ruiz gave a detailed presentation on the new (and old) features of Ubuntu’s latest release, 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Simón did a great job, managing to come up with features that surprised (and pleased) both Ubuntu newbies and veterans. I particularly liked the Disk Analyzer, which has already helped me recover several gigabytes of wasted storage on various disks.
After the main presentation, about 6 members stayed behind to talk about our options for holding a LinuxFest in Fort Wayne. The consensus was that pulling things together for a major event in conjunction with this year’s Three Rivers Festival would be next to impossible. In fact, the feeling was that a major event would need to wait until next year.
On the other hand, the alternative of having a more installation/troubleshooting event, like our previous InstallFests, was put forward as something we could accomplish in the nearer term. The suggestion was to see if this could be held in the library, perhaps sometime in October.
One final note, Canterbury will be under construction and will not be available for meetings until August. The consensus was that we will have social meetings (without presentations) at Mad Anthony’s for June and July.
