  between 12noon and 5pm.

  We will be meeting in the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster
  University. This is in the shadow of the BT Tower, the nearest tube
  stations are Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Goodge Street.

  NOTE: you will need to sign in at the front desk to gain access to the
  building. There are building works at the moment but we'll post signs
  if the entrance has moved.

Talks

  We have two main talks planned. These will be in the large lecture
  theatre on the second floor:-

 12:00 - 12:30

  Welcome and Introduction.  Also the opportunity to try and beat the
  projectors into submission! :-)

 12:30 - 14:00

  Lene Jensen - Linux Training and Certification

  Lene works for RedHat. She'll start talking a bit about their
  curriculum, the RHCE track, but also their additional courses. Then
  going through the two certifications they have, RHCT and RHCE, and
  then questions.

 14:30 - 16:00

  Richard Cohen - Introduction to the Shell

  Aimed at people who are either new to Linux, or who have spent most of
  their time in graphical environments. An attempt to introduce people
  to the richness and power of the Linux and Unix shell, and some of the
  more useful standard tools. Lots of examples, both useful and silly.

 16:15 - 17:00

  To round the meeting off: There will be an open forum discussion,
  where people can come to the front of the lecture hall, and give
  little "shortie" presentations on topics of interest to the group,
  including the continuing feature 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 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.

After

  After the meeting, for those that want, the group will move off to
  'The Green Man' public house, very close to Great Portland Street.
  We have it booked from 5:30pm, the downstairs area of the bar is
  reserved for us. Even if you were unable to make the daytime meeting,
  please feel free to join us at the pub. To help you find the pub have
