</div><div><br></div><div>This is though a wonderful opportunity to see how a data centre runs and we are very thankful for CustodianDC's invitation. We will hold a normal style meeting and then be given a 30min tour of the data centre.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As we are meeting in a data centre it seems ideal to have a couple of data centre style talks....something along the lines of cloud based storage or VPN setup. Any one want to offer to do something along those lines?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are attending please let me know as we need to provide names of attendees before the day. Also everyone will be required to bring photo ID (passport or driving licence).</div><div><br></div><div>
Finally please remember our Saturday 30th April meeting will be us going to BarCamp Canterbury and you need to get tickets here <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1243123215#addtloptions" target="_blank">http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1243123215#addtloptions</a> Only 14 left.</div>
