  Dear all

  Unfortunately due to a bereavement, staff are now not available to host our meeting and tour of Custodian DC.


  Instead we will meet at Mid-Kent College, Gillingham from 10am-2pm in the Staff
  Training Room - 3 floor central block. Please sign in at reception and
  ask for directions.

  http://www.midkent.ac.uk/contact-us/medway-campus
  Medway Campus
  Medway Road
  Gillingham
  Kent
  ME7 1FN

  As always we could use some offers/suggestions for talks.


  Our visit to Custodian DC has been rescheduled for Saturday 26th March.  They will also allow people who do not have photo ID to attend. It's their normally security policy to know exactly who is onsite, but don't want any one excluded from attending, left handed people and Gentoo users included. :P


  Finally other dates for your diary......


  Remember Saturday 30th April is Bar Camp Canterbury and if Julia ever answers my emails we may meet in Canterbury at a community centre in May.


  If you plan on coming to this Saturdays meeting in Gillingham please reply to this thread.


  Thanks


  Colin

    Hi all
    As previously mentioned we are visiting http://custodiandc.com for our meeting on Saturday 26th February from 10am to 2pm.


    There location is;


    Custodian Data Centre

    Maidstone TV Studios

    Vinters Park

    Maidstone

    Kent

    ME14 5NZ

    Which is unfortunately in almost in the middle of nowhere so will take some coordinating and collecting from train stations if people reliant on public transport want to attend.



    This is though a wonderful opportunity to see how a data centre runs and we are very thankful for CustodianDC's invitation. We will hold a normal style meeting and then be given a 30min tour of the data centre.


    As we are meeting in a data centre it seems ideal to have a couple of data centre style talks....something along the lines of cloud based storage or VPN setup.  Any one want to offer to do something along those lines?


    If you are attending please let me know as we need to provide names of attendees before the day. Also everyone will be required to bring photo ID (passport or driving licence).


    Finally please remember our Saturday 30th April meeting will be us going to BarCamp Canterbury and you need to get tickets here http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1243123215#addtloptions Only 14 left.


    Colin
