[Gllug] South London Install fest.

[mark]

we have a set up in brixton; big rooms full of pc's a few running linux,
networked, (coldharbourlane/shakespere rd).
thinking about those national install days - but either ways any interest in
another space, relaxed atmosphere,
2 or 4 techy/linux heads on site, another install day??

what do you all say,

http://www.communitytechnology.org.uk

we would send out the word locally (flyers etc) but are there any other
'installers/programmers/..people' would like to jump in..

if we advertise there's an office hours (actually usually into the night,,)
phone line that will take
enquiries..

linux for brixton,

mark

on behalf of 'comtech'
