Martyn,
both you and Simon make a lot of sense.

It always disappointed me that even though we had GLLUG meetings at CFC
that no-one else from my company would come along. I did try to get
people interested.

As I've said many times, its only geeks (like us!) who are passionate
enough about their technology/jobs/learning for the future who will
turn out unpaid on a Saturday.
Or maybe even on weekday nights (yes there ARE Soho events in the
evenings - but these tend to include free food/drink/film showings).
MPC guys - please feel free to chip in here.


Maybe its time for a 'Rights Management in the Digital Age' workshop.
Because, as you say, things have changed. 

I can't contribute to organising the above workshop -
and remember that it would have to be in an afternoon or weekday
evening.
