Speaking about the training movies ... are they available as part of the
library / loan?

	I am not sure whether it is broken or not for certain. I do know
that the original intention of opening between 6pm-7pm was to support new
users. For a while people toyed with the idea of having "mini-presentations"
geared to new users. Unfortunately, nobody committed to giving these
presentations. Then we were going to have open Q&A for new users, but nobody
asked questions. Then we started showing training movies, but we seem to
have stopped that (and I don't know whether they were popular anyways). Now
we just have a chat time, I think.

	This is another thing I don't have a strong opinion about, although
I do strongly want to make newbies (to the LUG and Linux) feel welcome.
