[Glastonbury] Just a little idea

[Rick Fitzsimmons]

I'd be interested in helping. I know next to nothing about multimedia 
stuff (keen to learn), but I do have experience of Linux servers and 
network installation. I /hope/ to be at the meeting tonight, so if I 
make it we can discuss then.

Cheers,
Rick Fitzsimmons.
