I encourage people to go to this if you can. Sadly I'm deep in preparations my trip to America next week and can't :( James is a really entertaining speaker. Very funny, and a nice bloke to boot. What they're doing with Access Space is brilliant. I saw him speak at Open Source City last year. Worth the trip I reckon.<br>
<br>Hope it goes well, and I hope it will be recorded too.<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Lucy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lucybridges@gmail.com">lucybridges@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Tuesday 15th September.<br>
<br>
Talk<br>
------<br>
This month's talk will be given by James Wallbank from Access Space Sheffield.<br>
<br>
Access Space is the UK’s first free media lab: an open-access learning<br>
community, which combines Free, Open Source Software and locally<br>
recycled computers with the collective intelligence of a skill-sharing<br>
community. The lab is open five days a week for walk-in access and<br>
they host regular workshops and activities.<br>
<br>
James will explain the Access Space project and the longer term<br>
objective of encouraging similar projects, with continued<br>
collaboration between them.<br>
<br>
Location<br>
----------<br>
The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass<br>
O'Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be<br>
located in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people<br>
around a little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and<br>
drinks on offer). Just ask at the bar if you can't find us. Their<br>
website[1] has full details of how to get there and the fine selection<br>
of food and drink available. The venue also provides wifi.<br>
<br>
General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be<br>
