<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi All,<br><br></div>The date has rolled around into August now, and I don't feel like we've made much headway with planning for Software Freedom Day on 21st September.<br>
<br></div>So far I've registered IoMLUG at <a href="http://softwarefreedomday.org">http://softwarefreedomday.org</a> and done a short piece on Manx Radio. [ Link to audio: <a href="http://is.gd/iomlug">http://is.gd/iomlug</a> ]<br>
</div></div><br></div>I think the next step should be to secure the actual venue for the event. ***Is anyone on this list able to help?*** (Please!)<br></div><div><br>Central Douglas, with 'conference' type facilities and internet access would be best.<br>
</div><div>People have made a few suggestions for venues:<br>* A room in premises on North Quay - Nathan, please could you confirm that this offer is still available?<br></div><div>* Isle of Man College<br></div><div>* The Forum, Mount Havelock, Douglas - Does anyone on the list have any contacts with the MEF who could check this one out for me?<br>
<br></div><div>Once we know where to hold the SFD event, we can then start on planning exactly how we want to run it.<br>It would be helpful if you could let me know if you're free on that date and want to help out with anything.<br>
<br></div><div>[It's helpful if any email replies also go to <a href="mailto:iom@iomlug.org.uk">iom@iomlug.org.uk</a> so that we can all keep up with the planning conversations together.]<br></div><div><br></div><div>
Thanks in advance,<br>Dan.<br><br></div></div>
