You want to save money on your computer spend? Most people use proprietary systems like Windows or MacOS on
their home PCs. Upgrades of hardware and software are required periodically even if everything is still working fine.
This comes with a price. Are there alternatives to this repetitive expenditure? We will discuss the idea of open
source Linux systems and how they can be used in home environments. The prerequisites, the effort, the benefits
and potential disadvantages of a migration to Open Source will be explained. After this class you will be able to
decide for yourself if this could be an interesting alternative for you. If there is interest after this class to go ahead
with this idea, a further class will be designed for a hands on Linux migration in order to reuse your working
hardware and being independent of proprietary systems.
Basic understanding of computers and software is required for the conceptual understanding of this topic. There
is no need to bring your devices to this class.

Dates: 02/05/2023 - 20/06/2023 Weekly, Tue 2:00pm - 3:30pm

LibreOffice is a suite of office-type applications (similar to Microsoft Office) with an advantage in that it is completely
FREE to download and use. It includes a fully functioning word processor, a spreadsheet application, a presentation
package, a drawing and flowchart generator and a database. The program is also supported by very extensive
online documentation and instruction manuals. We will initially look at the word processing app. to get an
understanding of the layout of the screens and how to navigate the various menus and toolbars, since this is
something that most of us are likely to have some familiarity with. There will be plenty of hands-on exercises to
create and manipulate text with the aim of building confidence in using the program. The other apps in the suite
have essentially the same layouts, commands and toolbars as the word processor. With this basic structure
understood, it will be relatively easy to progressively work through the other apps during our 8 weeks together. The
course will be suitable for people with limited experience of office applications, but also relevant for those who may
have had some prior exposure but looking for other options or to extend their knowledge.
You will need to download and install LibreOffice from the LibreOffice.org website onto your own computer.. A
guideline for how to do this will be sent to participants prior to the commencement of the class. It will also be helpful
if you can work with the LibreOffice application whilst participating in the Zoom call. This can be achieved by either :
1. opening two windows on your computer: one for LibreOffice and the other for Zoom. or 2. participating in the
Zoom call on a separate device, such as another computer, a tablet (e.g. iPad) or a smartphone.. Zoom links will be
sent to accepted members close to the start of the class and no later than the day before.
