Hi nicolas,

Here are the details of the next meeting for Lonix,

Time:  6pm onwards
Place: The Printworks,113/117 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3HJ

There are 2 events on this days:

9:30 - 5pm : UKUUG on day seminar
6pm - 11pm : Lonix Meeting (Printworks Farringdon)

They are both fairly close to each other so you can make a day of it.

"Databases and the Web"                 
Tuesday 16th October 2007. 9:30 - 5pm
Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London WC1B 5BB  
UKUUG members: ?99.87 / 146.87 Non Members
(Tushar will be doing the morning talk here - details at the bottom)  

Once again we'll be returning to 'The Printworks' for our October
meeting.  

We can either eat 'in House' or if anyone knows of some good places
nearby, then feel free to suggest them.

Anyway... some info about the pub and the meeting...

As Weatherspoons pubs goes, this really is one of the best.  It is a
huge pub with lots of alcoves and spaces to go if you want to be alone,
though hopefully not at a Lonix meeting.  It has a good selection of
guest ales, and being Weatherspoons the booze is remarkably cheap

There are Plasma screens dotted about if you want to keep your eye on
the sport, Eastenders, or coronation Street (boo, hiss)and they have
WiFi access, via "The cloud" so get your laptops out and show us what
they can do.

Again, all things open source, linux and I dare say Mac OSX will rear
it's conversational head at some point, even if Apple have now "closed"
the source code for the OSX kernel making it proprietary (thanks Dan)
