RE: [Falkirk] Firm meeting Tuesday 13th

[Robert Barbour]

OK, see you there, on Tuesday.

In response to Sandy's question, I think it will just be introductions all round, putting faces to names, then general discussion, comparing notes, etc.

It's probably too soon to organise the Ubuntu talk offered, but that could be put on the 'programme' for a future meeting - all suggestions welcome!

Regards
Rob

 Hi all, 
 
 In response to Sandy, I've just totted-up the replies mentioning can (and 
 no-can) do dates. Seems to me like Tuesday 13th, 7pm upstairs at Behind the 
 Wall (2 definite yesses, one no, one away). So unless someone can come up 
 with an earth-shattering reason to change, see you there! 
 (I'll be the one wearing a penguin t-shirt)
