<div style="" class="">This is organised by ourselves Shropshire Linux Users Group and
British Computing Society (Shropshire) and support of Computing Dept. at
Telford College</div>
<div style="" class=""><strong style="" class="">Description</strong></div>
<div style="" class="">Have you ever wondered whether you are using Open Source enough? Is
it the smart thing to do? Is it relevant to my business or career? Is it
just for geeks? Are there risks? Well this is the event to attend full
of informed students and experienced business professionals. Expect big
discussions seeded by concise talks describing how Open Source is using
in different sectors. You will be surprised, and hopefully inspired to
go away and use some of these marvellous tools. However there is always
two sides to a coin !</div>
