</span></font></strong></font></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Before I prepare anything (and I am not an expert on issues around installs etc), I need to know who else is going to be there and what they can contribute.
<br></p><p>So far, looking back through emails, I think only Iain Baker has said he will be there - a couple of other people have other commitments (like being overseas) that mean they cannot be there.</p><p>According to the website there are another 20 or so people around (maybe more - my flag seems to have fallen off the map).
</p>If anyone knows of good tutorial material on the web that we can 'customise', please let me know asap.<br><br>BTW - if anyone needs transport, I am driving from Nocton and can pick up people between Nocton and Lincoln, and others a few miles further off route.

Group (<a href="http://www.lincs.lug.org.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.lincs.lug.org.uk</a>) and with BCS Open Source Specialist Group
(<a href="http://ossg.bcs.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ossg.bcs.org</a>).<br><br>The format will be more that of a workshop/tutorial, and
will be designed to encourage 'hands-on' experience of using several GNU/Linux
distros (in particular Ubuntu, Debian and Knoppix). It will also allow for
exchange of information and ideas, and try to answer questions and queries about
GNU/Linux, especially for those who have little or no experience. If you have a
laptop with a Linux installation, please feel free to bring it along to help
demonstrate, or raise questions (although we cannot guarantee to answer all
questions).</font></div>
