[HLUG] speaker for ISFD

[Sarah Chard]

Hi everyone
following discussion about ISFD  at the meeting last night I contacted
Paula Graham at Fossbox in London to ask if she would come and speak at
our  event

I asked if she would give a talk on on the advantages of Open Source
for the general user - and link it in with internet security
and she said she would be happy to.

I met Paula a couple of years ago at the start of the Tuxedu project
when I called in to Fossbox while I was in London 
 I also attended Flossie which Paula helped to set up.
She is an interesting and informative speaker and very active in
promoting FLOSS
here's a link if you want to know a little more

Paula would like help with travel expenses - if we confirm now she can
book a cheap advance train ticket - and I am sure we can get some
sponsorship (julian?)
I am happy to offer her accomodation and she does not want a fee for
speaking 

I said I would get back to her next week so let me know if you are happy
for me to go ahead and book
