I kinda had a knack for straightening out my friends broke microsh$ft pc's ;) -tho- with no schoolin` under my belt or paper hanging on my wall, I felt to go get some of that.
I felt it more, soon after getting introduced to Linux, by way of Debian, then Ubuntu![[BR]]
So, I'm in a tech school, "[http://www.mitchelltech.com/cf/Academics/Programs/cst.cfm Mitchell Technical Institute]", seeing the end of my 2yr course, of "Computer Systems Technology", and look toward getting cert`fied in "Ubuntu/Linux", and somehow ~ someway...chipping in...with FOSS & The Ubuntu community.[[BR]]
I'm pretty much "blown away", by everyone's vast knowledge, in this and many other areas, so I'm feeling kinda small and looking for a place to fit in & do something to help out and/or just pitch in and have some laughs!!

I haven't done presentations, more often I'm, "1 on 1", with a client. I've found, I'ld like to have a leaflet, or something "written"- to leave "in their hands"...& as a "reminder".
If a new user has questions or a problem{as I did}, it would be a help to have one of my fliers handy, with a tele #, or E-mail addy! ;) [[BR]]

== How I'll Do It ==
The material is out there ~ So, It will mostly be copy & pasted stuff - "already approved & used", cause it's on the wiki or site. Thats all kinda quicker too! ;)[[BR]]
If I saved & uploaded right,'' Here's 2 drafts to grab'',[[BR]]

 *attachment:Brochure [[BR]]
 *[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrochureCopy BrochureCopy page, to pick it apart],

 *attachment:Leaflet [[BR]]
 *[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Leaflet,Flyer,Flier,Circular A new wiki page, Leaflet,Flyer,Flier,Circular]

I've found all the artwork, here- around the wiki, that I'll think to need for brochure's & fliers~ but thats your choice.
I've right-clicked- on most any kewl pic & icon, then adding it to my draft.
