OK, cool! Would be good to have some help paying for the broadband and 
keeping it open.

I talked to Max, who's been involved in the Linux group a bit before, 
and also is involved with the Basement, and he was saying the thing to 
do at some point is to talk to the people from Single Step about the 
idea and see what they think. He was saying it's the kind of thing they 
would probably support but the thing to do would be to write up a 
proposal and make things as clear as possible so they know what they are 
saying yes to. Their next meeting is on 7th November, which is probably 
too soon for us to put together a final proposal, but we could maybe get 
a basic outline written up before then and give it to them to have a 
look at.

I have met a couple of people from Access Space a few years ago so will 
try to get in touch with them soon to ask about a visit.
