If people want a meeting in Dover, then fine, But someone in that part of Kent will have to organise it, Kent is a big place and if we want to meet in Dover and other places we need to split organisation of thouse meets to people who are near the venues to organise and advertise them properly to the locals.<div>

Dear All<br>
<br>
I'm still in contact with Neil Smith of the Open University
concerning a talk/market research about his Linux course. (Neil is
considering developing a range of courses beyond the introductory
one.)<br>
<br>
Problem: I'm just about to leave for an Australian lecture tour (I
know, I know...but somebody has to do these things.) The earliest
monthly meeting I could attend/introduce Neil would be March. I
strongly prefer ICMP as a venue.<br>
<br>
If someone can give me a date in March, I'm happy to try and book
Neil before I leave for the <strike>beach </strike>antipodes.<br>
<br>
