[Klug-general] Gaming session - Ashford

[Thom Dalladay]

As per the discussion at the Ashford meeting, if supplying the server is a
problem, I have a 1U server and a 16 port switch that I can supply as a
gameserver, I'd provide appropriate access to the individual wishing to
setup a game.

> Copies of games built for different distros (remember can't download).
> Server(s) for games.

> Anyway. Open to discussion :) and all ideas welcome.
