[Blackpool] Manchester Free Software's March Meeting

[Stuart Naylor]

I would be interested in attending, I stopped programming and for about three years I have been meaning to take the plunge again.

Is also a huge event for opensource generally in the UK and very much overdue. I have had a running battle with Lancashire Adult Learning tutors for other 5 years now.
They just see the $ sign of M$ to the detriment of the students and it has been a M$ only arena but not for long.

I am in this Saturday to meet the LUG, just wondered if anyone would be so kind to lend me anything they have on PERL or Python.
I can't read on screen for some reason and you just can't beat dead tree's as a reference :)

Would return them the week after if anyone would be so kind.

Already done the library and even ventured into Waterstones. Being dole dossing scum I am a bit tight on money but there was a complete absense of anything remotely near in the two previous.

As to Saturday is anyone interested in Zentyal server? Zentyal.org. I could bring in a server built up and do a wee demo?
If not saves me lugging the thing about.

Many Thanks

Stuart.
