[Glastonbury] FLOSS Audio Visual Event - 20-8-05 Bristol

[tim hall]

OK, Lots of you have been asking about the Open Source multimedia users' event 
we're doing in Bristol in August. Details follow. It's great to get such a 
positive response - so this is effectively our next meeting before the 
autumn. It should be fun for all the family, uh, assuming your family are all 
geeks. ;]

OPEN SOURCE CREATIVITY IN BRISTOL, UK - 20TH AUGUST

FAVE is a new event for creative people

software before. Doors open at 10am and the event gets underway at 
11am. Music will continue into the evening, and the whole event costs
