Hardipati in Petrozavodsk

About the release of the new version of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on Habrahabr there was a huge number of entries : release dates, download links, descriptions of innovations, and holiday posts. However, I met only one entry on Habraskhodka in Novosibirsk about holding a meeting related to this event. Although I remember, by the release of 7.10 we were going to Moscow , St. Petersburg , Kiev .

We, the citizens of Petrozavodsk, are going to such a party for the second time. By tradition, the first Sunday after the release of the new version. The goal of Hardipati (and last time Gatsipati) is to meet and talk live, exchange ideas and experiences about the Ubuntu OS and the Ubuntu Ubuntu Karelian site of Ubuntu on Onego.ru .

Details about the last meeting just below.

We made an appointment through the local site of ubuntologists, and decided that we would go to a cafe. However, having met on the spot, we decided to sit in the fresh air.



There were 17 of us in total, which seems to me quite good for a small city of Petrozavodsk. Unfortunately, there were no girls among us, but we decided to work in this direction. =)

After my short introduction, we distributed stickers “Designed for Ubuntu” , several CDs with the new system. The guys got leptopes, and we started to install a new version of the distribution kit on them. The system was perfectly installed on 4 of 5 laptops and refused to be friends with only one, citing the lack of a monitor.



The communication turned out to be very relaxed, which I really liked, although I was not familiar with the majority. And, of course, it’s good that two times more people came than last time (there are 5 people left to the number at the Moscow party).

Despite the fact that Karelia is well Internetized, and most of the houses have ADSL or a regional network, public Wi-Fi spots only began to appear and we did not get into a cafe with the Internet. Next time, I think, Ibekspati, will be held in such a cafe. We plan to hold such events regularly.

And it all started with the fact that we with friends, after solving the first problems with Linux, had the idea to make a site on which we could highlight these solutions. So in September 2007, and appeared " Ubuntu on Onego.ru ". Now in Karelia there is a good local repository (thanks to one of the providers), a local database of images of various GNU / Linux systems.

Thank you for your attention, try to use free software, communicate more often live!
