=== MFS Introduction and Key Signing ===

The purpose of Manchester Free Software is to promote the Free Software
philosophy.

Every meeting we start with an opportunity for informal key signing.
For this you'll need to bring paper OpenPGP fingerprint slips, see
`gpg-key2ps` from the `signing-party` package (or equivalent in your
GNU/Linux distro):
https://packages.debian.org/signing-party


=== Topic details ===

This month's topics are the new features in Debian 10 (Buster).

With the recent release of Debian Buster this gives us an opportunity to
cover some interesting topics that are mostly applicable to all
GNU/Linux distributions.

What exactly we cover and how much time we spend on each topic will be
determined by the participants at the meeting.

Topics of interest are:

* nftables (the new iptables and more!)
** https://packages.debian.org/buster/nftables
* "Driverless printing with CUPS 2.2.10"
** https://wiki.debian.org/DriverlessPrinting
* "Merged /usr"
* LUKS2
* Wayland (for GNOME)
* AppArmor (enabled by default)
* Secure Boot

== Location ==

The meeting will take place at our new venue of Manchester Technology
Centre, details above.


== Transport ==


=== Parking ===

Please research and decide where to park before heading on your journey
and have a Plan B.

There are paid parking lots around the venue, they are marked by a blue
P in OpenStreetMap centred on Manchester Technology Centre:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/53.4722/-2.2379

Most of those parking lots are owned by NCP:

In some of the side streets in the venue surrounding area there are
parking meter bays that become zero cost after 8pm on Tuesday so you
will have to pay up until then and the maximum stay is 2 hours BUT MAKE
SURE YOU VERIFY ALL THIS on parking.  This is probably only a good
option if you know the area.

If you can't decide where to park then ask me for advice.


=== Public Transport ===

Closest train stations to the venue are:

* Manchester Oxford Road (MCO) train station
* Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) train station

For other public transport see OpenStreetMap using the "Transport" layer
centred on Manchester Technology Centre:
