Open Source and Q&A</h2><p style="border:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;outline:rgb(0,0,0);padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(64,64,64);line-height:20px">
As of this month, we're going to be augmenting the Q&A part of our meetings with general Open Source work, questions and (hopefully) - guidance. It is our hope that you can use this time to work on/ with a project that you're really passionate about, if not get advice on how to go about doing this.</p>

We will be spending a portion of this meeting planning the next year, very much as we did last year. This is where we need everyone to get in on the discussion. Make ScotLUG YOURS. No idea is too mental...</p><h2 style="font-size:20px;border:0px;font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:inherit;margin:40px 0px 10px;outline:rgb(0,0,0);padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;line-height:28px;color:rgb(64,64,64)">

To keep with ScotLUG tradition - those of you of age to drink alcohol are invited to join us on the ScotLUG Paisley Beer Festival trip. We need to get numbers of how many people are coming as early as possibly, so please email me if you're interested. If there's enough people it might be worth putting together a pool to get team t-shirts made up as we have in previous years!</p>
