Hi Mike

I thought about getting the LPD posters, stickers printed here, but its
been difficult enough to find time for promo of our own event.

If I get time I will get this arranged as I know local printers etc. Time
is the issue

But I have sent a piece to Micromart to David Heywood the Linux pages chap,
who might if we are lucky publish some about the event and LPD.

I will also sent something to the local BBC Radio here as I know a couple
of their presenters and we did get a piece a few years back for Software
Freedom Day on there. I have already submitted a piece for local paper here
too.
