Need (K)Ubuntu assistance in BURUNDI and BOTSWANA
Hi, I do not know which FORUM to go to, to ask this - please help me to redirect it
I have friends in both Burundi (Muyinga, Central Africa) and Botswana (Gaborone, Southern Africa) who would like to start using Ubuntu. I have showed and convinced them of the value of switching to Ubuntu while they were on a visit to South Africa (where I stay). Because of their work both of them are very influential people who will most likely bring a lot of new users to the Ubuntu scene once they themselves have started using ubuntu. However, both of them are older people. The fact that they are older is both a drawback as well as a positive. It is a drawback in the sense that they have no PC software installing experience and will not be able to install Ubuntu without wrecking havoc on their systems. It is a positive because of their age (older, not old though!) and large influence, they will probably convert many of their nationals to the Ubuntu scene. That is the reason I took time with them to make sure that they would want to start using Ubuntu.
I would like to know if there is anyone in Burundi (near Muyinga - preferably speaking French but English can also work and installing the French version of HardyH ) or Botswana (at Gaborone, English HardyH) who could would have enough experience to install (K)Ubuntu for them. How do I go about finding out about this? Canonical, would you perhaps know of anyone to whom I could refer? Anyone who could refer this to Canonical? I would not like to give the names of the two gentlemen in these countries here as this is a somewhat open forum, but will personally take it up with anyone who could assist. Please send me a e-mail address if you know of someone who could assist in both these countries.
