[Infopoint] Manchester

Well, our slightly unusual infopoint went rather well :-)

Due to various shortages of people/resources/whatever we
ran an infopoint with no CDs, LUG leaflets or (for all but
one hour) hardware, and you know what? It was really
rather good =o)

We had a great corner location, and a couple of bright Free
Software posters, as well as /some/ Free Software leaflets.
What we did was *talk* to people. Explain Free Software.
Point them to where they could download cross-platform Free 
Software (such as OpenOffice.org and Firefox) and, if they
were interested in trying a Free Software OS, point them 
to their nearest GNU/Linux user group. We got some really great 
reactions from people :)

Thanks to Ian and Ben for their help on the stand today :)
