=== Meeting ===<br>
<br>
Again, we have switched venues! This time however, hopefully we have a<br>
permanent place with good facilities. As I understand, via the BBC we<br>
will have not shortage of quiet space, power, wifi and a projector!<br>
<br>
Due to because it's not fun to have to walk around a strange city on<br>
your own, even if it is just a few steps, I suggest we meet at<br>
Manchester Oxford Road train station at about 12pm (look for geeks,<br>
laptops, t-shirts, signs saying "DFEY", stickers etc.) Once everyone has<br>
arrived, we will then move on to BBC building just down the road.<br>
We aim to have finished by about 4pm and to have left the building by 4:30.<br>
<br>
=== Sign Up ===<br>
<br>
The BBC has insisted I give the a list of all participants by early<br>
Friday Morning, please do your best either sign up below, or email us so<br>
we can let them know.<br>

=== About DFEY-NW ===<br>
<br>
DFEY-NW (Digital Freedom in Education and Youth) is a group formed in<br>
response from a growing need in the Northwest of England for a group to<br>
encourage and promote young people's involvement with the free software<br>
community by creating a social space to make it more comfortable for<br>
young people to get involved with GLUGs and FSUGs.<br>
