Both evenings I had a great time, the first wasn&#8217;t quite as far along in the class as the others so I was given the opportunity to explain some of the basics of free software, lots of money questions and other key ideas.<\/p>\n<p>My slides from the talks are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/presentations\/IntroToUbuntu-itttech.odp\">IntroToUbuntu-itttech.odp<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/presentations\/IntroToUbuntu-itttech.pdf\">IntroToUbuntu-itttech.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks to Professor Roth for inviting me to his classrooms to tell his students why Ubuntu is better than the Fedora they were using in class. Just kidding. On a more serious note, it was a nice opportunity to meet a bunch of people who were interested in learning more and furthering their careers in a Linux direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in my last post I kicked off the Ubuntu Women Career Days in Ubuntu Classroom bright and early (for me!) on Saturday the 17th.
