Sounds like a great idea, I've been talking about trying to organise an open source event in Liverpool for about a year now. Taking being the operative word on my part. I'll be happy to help out however I can. Obviously I can offer promotion and I might be able to pull on some contacts to get a few bigger names to talk. I think we can do something really good and show case the North West. I'm pretty sure the guys in Manchester and Chester will be interested. If we do it on a weekend we could get at least 100 people, maybe 200 or more if I push it on the podcast. :) I was discussing a music and open source event with Ross from Sound Network, so it might be worth contacting him about this too.<br>
<br>If you do set up a mailing list or group let me know. The main problem is when do we do it? With LRL coming up in October and all. It would need to be discussed. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can make 2moro night's meeting. That's a pain. I've got EuroPython in Birmingham on Thursday and I'm still behind from Linux Tag last week. <br>
<br>Let me know what develops, cheers<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 1:00 PM, Andrew Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy@tensixtyone.com">andy@tensixtyone.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

style FOSS event, Now we're rolling in the middle of summer maybe its<br>
time to grab the bull by the horns and start pulling one together.<br>
<br>
Interested in helping organise it? Drop me a mail and we can chuck<br>
together a list or a google group and maybe take the next few steps. If<br>
you know anyone who would be interested in helping out then forward this<br>
message onto them :)<br>
