[HLUG] Future events

[Julian Robbins]

Hi Everyone

I too spoke to Scott Thompson down at the Expo. Officially, Open 
Advantage have to help 'businesses', to count as an 'assist'. They get 
paid their grant money from UK and europe depending on the number of 
'assists' they can do. So they mainly have to help businesses to get 
their money.
That said Scott me that their remit may be redefined so that they can 
count assists against everyone, whether they are a sole trader to just 
anyone interested in Open Source/ Linux.

I think a talk on Content Management systems may be useful, and the 
differences between some of the leading contenders, ie Jooomla,(Mambo), 
Drupal, Plone.
