Talks 

  We have two main talks planned. These will be in the large lecture

  examples of how it can be used to improve security.

  To round the meeting off: There will be an open forum discussion,
  including the return of the "Heckle Steve Session".

* Do please be aware that we can't guarantee that the talks will
  happen at the times stated, but we will do our best to make sure
  they do.


Other activities 

  Away from the formal lectures, we have two rooms set aside,
  both on the second floor, same level as main lecture room.

  The network lab, as it is known, can be used for rolling demos
  of Linux being installations and to experiment with configuration.

  We also have the Multimedia room. This will be used for people
  to set is up their own machines. You can do this if you have
  something to show off, or you are looking for a solution to some
  problems. If your are bringing in your own machine, make sure
  you sign it in when you arrive, otherwise security won't let
  you take it when you go! We'll have monitors, keyboards, mice,
  and powerleads available. [So no need to lug all that stuff].

  We will have access to some of the latest iso images and a
  CD-Burner.

  If you decide to bring a PC, please have the serial number
  written down ahead of time, in case it needs to be registered
  at the ground floor Reception. We may also take a picture of you
  and your PC as proof of ownership.

  The network lab and the multimedia room are the places you can
  go to, should you be looking for sanctuary away from the formal
  talks. If we're lucky the Refectory on the ground floor will have
  its food and drinks machines restocked.

Sales

  will be with us, so if you are looking to buy some O'Reilly books,
  now's your chance. And yes - we do get 25% off the cover price.

  Street. We have it booked from 5:30pm, part of the ground floor
