[HLUG] talks and workshops and Pis at ISFD

[Sarah Chard]

After some discussions with Paula Graham about the ISFD event and what
our aims were this year
Paula has decided to talk on making a media centre on an Ubuntu box with
XBMC.

We discussed this at the last HLUG meeting as  a couple of people
pointed out that for non-linux home users this was a crucial element -
and we should show that linux systems are capable of running as media
centres - so this fits in well with our overall theme

Now it is perfectly possible to use a Pi and XMBC to run a media centre 
so this is a request to HLUG Pi owners - has anyone tried this out on
their Pi - would you be happy demoing it on the day as a follow up to
Paula's talk - if so please let me know and I will put you in touch with
Paula who will be happy to talk to you about what she intends to do and
how we can link it to the Pi.

At the moment it looks as if Paula's talk will be at 12noon and Sean's
at 2pm although this is not set in stone yet
