The July meeting will introduce the latest Ubuntu release - Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) Desktop Edition. If time permits and hardware is available, there may also be a demonstration of the Netbook Remix edition. As many PCs now ship without optical drives, this demonstration will also include booting and running from a USB thumbdrive - very much faster than running from a CDROM.
Ubuntu is steadily maturing and is a viable alternative to other, proprietary operating systems. It looks great, supports most hardware, is continually being improved and is free.
This will quite likely be a different presentation to the Ubuntu demo at Wellington earlier this year, come along and see what has changed. See you there!
