On Wednesday, 2nd May 2012, the Liverpool Linux User Group¹ will be<br>
meeting. Hakim Cassimally² will be shedding light on the mysterious<br>
concept of the Internet of Things³ in a talk entitled "Enchanted<br>
Objects: the Internet of Things for Humans". In Hakim's words:<br>
<br>
"In this talk, we'll look at bubbles, owls, bicycles, enchanted<br>
objects, designing for humans, and open source frothy goodness!"<br>
<br>
<br>
We will meet at the Liverpool Social Centre⁴ at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm<br>
start. After the talk, we will venture to a local drinking<br>
establishment for beverages and further discussion.<br>
<br>
Liverpool Social Centre is next door to the News from Nowhere bookshop<br>
on Bold Street⁵. To access the centre, press the bell for the<br>
basement on the left of the door and someone will come up and let you<br>
in.<br>
<br>
This should be another illuminating, possibly even inspiring talk :-)<br>
