CLTC Project Presentations and Background Information

The information materials developed by the EBO project are related to the various events/workshops that have been developed to communicate the various themes of the Project (clicking on the links below takes you to the online version of that presentation):

The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Presentation – a 2-hour presentation/discussion the the development of free software, and the differences between the free/open and proprietary systems.
The Gnu/Linux Installation Day Workshop – a day-long practical workshop designed to introduce beginners to free software, Gnu/Linux systems, and the basics of how to assess, recycle, upgrade and install a Gnu/Linux computer system. The 'Gnu/Linux Installation Workshop' summary/information sheet also provides information and links related to the content of the workshop.
The 'Low-Tech Gnu/Linux Systems Networking' Day Workshop – a day-long practical workshop aimed at teaching those with some experience of using Gnu/linux systems how to develop simple local networks and running services over them to support small offices/campaigns.
The CLTC's 'Fedora Installation and Extension Guide (FIEG) – a guide to the methods and purposes of installing and using Gnu/Linux systems, and customising them to meet your needs.
The CLTC 'Command Line Interface Guide' (CLIG) – a detailed package of advice and information, aimed at beginners and novice users of the Linux operating system, to using the command line interface more effectively.

The Free and Open Source Systems Guide
(FOSSG) Handouts (a.k.a the 'J' series)

Free and Open Source Systems – FOSS (usually called free software and open source software, but we take a broader view) – rely on intellectual property rights like proprietary software but they use those rights to protect the information from inclosure by private interests. this series of guides outlines what FOSS's are, how you can begin using them, and what you can do with them.

J1	Thinking Outside the Cage	An introduction to Free/Open Source Philosophy – "Microsoft Windows is what makes your computer work". People who learn to use computers at school or in the workplace may believe that most computers require Microsoft's Windows system to work, but this is not true. It might be what the mainstream computer media talk about but there are other options, and best of all, some of these options are completely free!.
J2	The Gnu/Linux System	The alternative to proprietary computer systems – From the point of view of Windows users, where you don't necessarily have to understand what you're doing to make the machine work, Gnu/Linux can seem a complicated and difficult thing to get your head around. In reality, whilst you might have to become a little more "involved" in using your computer, the benefits will outweigh the costs of learning to use a different system.
J3	The CLTC System	The making of a free, recycled training platform – The origin of the CLTC project was the development of a mobile computer training platform for community groups. Although that system has now worn out and has ceased to function, the ideas created through its design, development and use continue to influence the recent research work of the Free Range CLTC Project.
J4	Upgrading Old Computers	Recycling old technology with Gnu/Linux – The computer world is obsessed with the utterly non-ecological trends of "bigger", "faster", and "newer"; this unit looks at the alternative option – recycling and upgrading old computer equipment to give it new uses.

The Fedora Installation and Extension Guide
(FIEG) Handouts (a.k.a the 'K' series)

The Fedora Installation and Extension Guide (FIEG) is a step-by-step guide to installing Gnu/Linux on low-grade equipment. It is intended to be a direct replacement for the old "CLTC Installation Guide", and will cover a far wider range of issues than that addressed by our old documentation).

Presently we're running a bit behind on the public testing of the materials, and so we expect to have the guide finished and published by the late Summer.

The Command Line Interface Guide
(CLIG) Handouts (a.k.a the 'L' series)

The Command Line Interface Guide (CLIG) is guide to using Linux's seemingly primitive text-based interface for day-to-day and more advanced uses of the Gnu/Linux system. In many ways it complements the content if the The Fedora Installation and Extension Guide (FIEG) as it provides answers to performing a number of different tasks in the installation and maintenance of Linux systems.

Presently we're running a bit behind on the public testing of the materials, and so we expect to have the guide finished and published by the late Summer.
