He is also the host for APCUG\u2019s Wednesday Workshops. At the same time he is the coordinator of the Learning Linux Workshops. I could help with MATE if he cannot find anyone else, but I don't use Gnome (I have not really liked it whenever I have given it a try). If any of you would like to help him with a presentation, please respond to him directly (with a copy to me). He wrote:</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="padding-left: 30px;" data-mce-style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I am looking for a few Linux users to help out in our next Learning Linux workshop on April 21st. One of the presenters is no longer able to take part on that day due to job requirements, so I am looking for some replacements. The topic for the upcoming workshop is \u201cCustomizing the Linux Desktop\u201d. We want to show people how you can customize Linux to meet your needs, likes, and workflow.
