We're hoping to get internet at the site. Some people reckon you *need*
it as people will want to see it working before they leave.

We've no idea how many to expect. The set up will be people bring their
machines in (preferably laptops) and we install it for them. We will
have copies of CDs which people can take away.

If it goes well we'll certainly have another one. We have no idea how
long we'll have the building for so it's a bit up in the air.

GLLUG should be having it's annual student installfest in October
sometime. That went well and was fun last year!

Has anyone come across BLAG (Brixton Linux Action Group)? Some of them
may be coming - I've not personally come across them before.
