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

12:00 - 12:45
  Welcome and Introduction.
  also opportunity to try and debug overhead projectors :-)

12:45 - 14:30
  Paul Nasrat - Fedora

  Paul Nasrat will be speaking about Fedora - the Red Hat sponsored
  community supported project.  The talk will introduce Fedora as a
  distribution and project, and also introduce the features and development
  of Fedora Core 1 (the current release) and Fedora Core 2 the next release.

14:30 - 15:00
  Break

15:00 - 16:45
  Steve Nelson - Next Generation Web Design

  In this talk Steve will give an overview of the concept and rationale of
  next  generation web design, focusing on CSS and XHTML.  This talk can
  only really whet your appetite and suggest how to start coding in this way,
  or  begin converting your current web presence.  It aims to be both
  conceptual  and practical, in that it features an example of converting a
  page from HTML  to XHTML+CSS.

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. 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 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 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.

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
  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
  a look at the link on the website.
