Novice Nights are Debian-NYC's meetings for everyone. If you would like to install Debian, help with an installation, help with configuring or making Debian do what you need, come on by. If you want to hang out with Debianistas to pick up tips and tricks, come on by. We can also provide some help with the Ubuntu derivative of Debian.

Novice Nights are free-form: bring your questions, and you'll be able to talk to people to answer them. There isn't a set structure here or presentation ongoing, so you can come for whatever parts you feel like. We will be able to help with new installations or fixing/configuring existing ones. We can make installation disks or USB drives.

Where to outreach

If you have ideas of specific email addresses to advertise to, send them to Richard Darst (rkd zgib.net). Include: organization, contact person name, email address, if you are willing to be the interface to relay announcements to the group. This list can't be made public...

We need to focus on advertising to underrepresented groups, not just the status quo who always comes to our events. General ideas: non-profits, specific ethnic/religious groups, small businesses, local government, active-duty military.
