Thinking sometime in April, after the April 6th StrikeDebt action.

SETC is trying to move over to free software and Linux. For now, we're
probably looking at giving one class/presentation per month.

First meeting April 16th 6:30 - 8:30

First outline for a curriculum (we'll have to discuss this with SETC,
and tailor it accordingly).

First session:

* Brief history of linux. How/Why open source is different from proprietary software.
* Booting from a linux distribution CD
* Brief intro to a command line

Second session:

* Review basic commands
* Download software and software updates (package manager)

Third and fourth sessions:

* Small projects. Libre Office, Video editing, Audio editing, Graphics, (basic computer applications). Set up a drupal website.
