[Hudlug] Sometimes it does take a Rocket Scientist! - Thursday 2nd October

[Tim Bray]

[I'm planning on going.  Anybody else?  Tim]

The first event, this Thursday (2nd October), of the new IEE South 
Yorkshire Branch programme is our March cancelled "Linux in Space" 
lecture. Prof. Pat Stakem is coming to Sheffield from NASA just to give 
us his lecture. So PLEASE support us and try to attend.

Pat will talk about his life and work as a space engineer and rocket 
scientist. He will also discuss the use of computers in space. Where it 
started and where it is going to! GNU/LINUX in several different forms 
has been used on the International Space Station. It also forms part of 
his Flight Linux project.

Venue: Room 6620 The Adsetts Centre, Sheffield Hallam University. 6.30 
for 7.00. Admission is "free" but tickets are required as the venue only 
holds 250 (130 tickets currently issued). To get/book a ticket contact 
Pat Brunskill at Sheffield Hallam University (Tel: 0114 2254888 or

I hope to see you there.
