Welcome to the #Fediverse, @edinburghlinuxcafe !
Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday!
@mnd999 @DoomsdaysCW There are many Linux Cafes (or similar) in many places. I don't know about London specifically, but I would be very surprised if there isn't. You could try checking https://endof10.org.
EDIT: I am very surprised, it doesn't look like there is. You could always start one? We started off as me saying " You know what we should do? ..." to some friends at a social over drinks. It really is that simple.

I'm sure there are more around...
Everything about LinuxAfter something of a hiatus, since February 2025 are meeting on every fourth Wednesday of the month (except December) at the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE).

Hello! And welcome 🙂
FYI there is a list/map of Linux User Groups here, not sure how up to date it might be!
The Silicon Corridor group is alive and well. Monthly meetups in Reading.

"Want to start a Linux Repair Café? We have developed a starter pack to help you do just that (available in Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish). Existing Repair Cafés in our network can easily download it via their Repair Café account. You can access it by clicking on the ‘Downloads’ button. Let us know when you’re ready to open, so we can add your café to the world map.
"If you do not yet run a Repair Café within our network, you can register and download the starter pack for a Linux Repair Café.
"All Linux Repair Cafés are marked on the Repair Café International world map. This allows anyone interested to see which Repair Café can help them switch to Linux. You can see which Repair Cafés have gone before you by typing ‘linux’ into the search field."

Since the Linux Repair Café became available in five languages, the number of Repair Cafés offering Linux installation has grown rapidly. This is also the case in France. Volunteers from two French Repair Cafés share their experiences and offer advice.
Welcome! Great to see you here!

Excellent.
Keep up the good work!
I do it in a small way too for family and close friends. Very rewarding to see their amazement as an 'old' machine comes roaring back to very usable life 😊
