[Gllug] WSFII hOstage crisis

[Saul Albert]

dear glluggers,

sorry for X-posting, but it's a crisis!

We have a crisis of host shortage for WSFII - the World Summit On Free
Informatoin Infrastructures, starting this week, and culminating next
weekend (1st and 2nd). Due to insane London prices, Some of our people
have been left without shelter! They're all clean, dangerously bright and
well brought up, of course, and being on the right wavelength, they will
almost certainly improve wireless signal reception in your home on a
permanent or at least semi-permanent basis.

Of course, London wasn't really the best choice of city for hotel
affordability, and we've done the whole thing on a load of shoddily
knotted shoestrings, cable ties and gaffer tape as usual. So - if anyone
has a spare room from .. tomorrow (eep!) for one or two nights that would
be *much* appreciated... 

Just mail me off-list, if you have a space to spare, and don't mind a
lovely WSFIIer sleeping on your floor (or in one of the rooms of your
castle).

Free tickets to WSFII and other http://nodel.org/october.html events of
your choice for all hosts + t-shirts, trinkets, glass beads, jelly and
anything else we can find to thank you.

X

Saul.
