SCHEDULE
========

  The precise schedule of activities will be posted on the website.

  We hope to have several presentations, on Installation related issues.
  These will take place in the large lecture theatre on the second floor:

12:00
  Doors open.

12:40 - 12:45
  Welcome and Introduction.

13:00 - 16:45
  Various presentations.

16:45 - 17:00
  Closing Announcements

* 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
================
  We have two lab areas, one opposite the main lecture room on the second
  floor, mostly used for chatting and accessing the Internet. There is
  also a larger lab down in the basement, room number LG17.  There will be
  signs directing people there.

  People can also bring and setup 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 some CD-Burners.

  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 or if it's real pretty :-).

  The two labs 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

  Josette Garcia from O'Reilly will be with us between
  12pm and 3pm, so if you are looking to buy some O'Reilly
