Re: Hey all, here's an idea

 

Some other topics would be:

Exchange email (Evolution)

Office suite (OpenOffice.org, which can now read but not write Office 2007 files)

Synching the Windows Mobile phone is good. I'm using a phone with Palm OS, I could talk about how to sync Palms for the few people left still using that OS

And other software, like Photoshop (GIMP).

IE (Firefox)
Maybe with a mention of some of the more popular plug-ins

I'm sure we'll think of more as we go along. Plus we'll want to encourage listener feedback, and they'll certainly have questions about other stuff they're doing in Windows.

I probably can't do something every week but I could certainly address some of the concerns maybe every other week or once a month depending on how busy my schedule gets. I work at a university so I don't know how different my situation may be from those at corporations but here are some problems I could probably look at to address.

1. Setting up your machine to allow Active Directory logins (I have already done this so it shouldn't be too hard to talk a little about it although it may be a little different in 8.10 but we will see)
2. using network resources (network drives, mapping a drive, etc.)
3. Setting up corporate email/calendar to use Exchange (this one I have not quite figured out 100% but I have been working on it) 4. How to sync data with your PDA/windows mobile phone to sync information with linux mint (I haven't done this yet but I have a windows mobile phone so I can try it out)

Is there anything else someone would want me to look into or could help me out with? Does launchpad offer a community notes taking tool so we all can start writing down ideas and get more of a brainstorming session?
