If no talk is organised then we will usually organise a “open stage” for people to discuss projects, current news, or just to rant. Main Talk Graeme Dyas will be giving a introduction to RRDTool and its many uses. Open Stage As per usual, time will be allocated to the end of the talk for anyone to give a five minute talk on any subject. If you want some time just drop me a mail or grab me on the day. Doors are usually open before 7:00pm if people want to meet up in the centre, The Liverpool Social Centre is two doors up from Forbidden Planet and is the right-hand door at the front of “News From Nowhere”. Press the white doorbell for access (the one marked basement) and someone will come up and open the door for you. After any talks are finished will usually stay in the meeting area until 8:00pm then head out to a local pub, The pub varies from month to month and usually depends on the size of the crowd. If you arrive late and unsure of where we are then give one of the contacts a ring.

So, yes, sounds good! On the back of your interesting demo/talk of RPM & Yum: I've been contributing to the SliTaz disribution (what I run on my netbook) recently with some packaging. I wonder if a demo of what goes in to packages generally would be of any interest? It's not going to be pertinent to RPMs & DEBs so much but more the process and remarks, probably more aimed at the newbie end of the scale.

When I plugged it back in while the computer was switched off nothing happened anymore the drive seems to be truly dead. Also tried it on another machine. Does anyone have any experience with this. I have had a closer look but do not see anything that is damaged or discolored or anything indicating a fault. Not found any fuse type devices as well that might have blown and need replacing. I'm guessing it requires a complete circuit board replacement but that might be too expensive for my purposes. Anyone any advice? *Les*, is this Thursday the next meet. I have not been to any of the ones for this year so far due to various time restrictions. Regards Wijnand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unfortunately this isn't really fixable. Board level repair perhaps.

When Bill Gates gives away Windoze 7 to Charities, and Office for a fiver, it is very difficult to persuade Charities to use Linux etc, but I do try. If anyone has an oldish desktop not up to latest games etc, going cheapish, or knows of one, please do let me know.

Young Rewired State (YRS) is a initiative that aims to support young developers and coders in using public data to build apps, websites and anything else that people may use. It is about mashing up and getting out there with data people may not have seen or experienced before. - Who can take part? Anyone aged between 15-18. - When is it? YRS will take place *next week* between Monday 2nd August and Friday 6th August 2010 - Where is it taking place? YRS is taking place at centres across the country - there are centres in Brighton, London, Norwich, Oxford, Birmingham and Manchester. In Manchester we will be based at the MadLab - a space well-known for digital collaboration in the city centre. - What will happen? We will meet on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the MadLab and work together on ideas and developments. On Friday 6th August we will take the train down to London to meet the other teams, show & tell our work and perhaps win a prize! - Do I need to have skills? The nature of Young Rewired State means that people will get quite technical however we are looking more for a mindset rather than simply technical skills. If you have programming experience then you are very welcome and if you are interested in developing apps, websites or good uses of public data, then by all means come along. Basically, we want you to have 'tinkered' with computers in your own time and of your own accord. - What time will it be each day? We can meet at MadLab at 10.30am each day, and try and finish around 5pm or so. - Who else is involved? In Manchester we are supported by the MadLab and staff from Substance, Blackpool Council and Digital Freedom in Education and Youth. All support staff will be CRB checked and we will always be in a group. - How much does the whole week cost to attend? It's free to attend. Nada. Nothing. £0.00. All we ask is that you commit to turning up on time each day. :) - Do I need to register? Yes - there is a central registration form at YRS (http://events.osmosoft.com/recipes/yrs/tiddlers.wiki ), but if you would be as kind to email us to let us know that you've registered we can pass information straight over to you! - What else do I need to do? We need to know that you've told an responsible adult as to where you'll be - particularly if you come to London. By all means, put them in contact with us, if there is anything not clear? - So, why should I do this? YRS is the great opportunity to develop the next killer app whilst getting a headstart into IT and meeting people at the cutting edge of technology! - It's been a long time since I was 18 but this sounds rather exciting, is there any way I can lend a hand? Yes! Can you forward this email to anyone who would be interested in attending? Please do pass it on! We are looking for extra sponsors and mentors. Donations of developer time, money or prizes would be very gratefully recieved. Contact the organisers: Tim Dobson/Steven Flower: yrs at tdobson.net Tim: 01457 597 007 --- P.S.
