I was there for the Presentations on the Saturday, but unfortunately I
couldn't get to the other events due to lack of holidays and prior
commitments for the weekend.

Congratulations on the new position. Always good to see FOSS
knowledgeable people getting positions in renowned projects.

FACT is a great place, and i'd like to hang out there more. I think
one of the sticking point for LivLUG is somewhere to call home, maybe
FACT could be that in the future.

...and heres another chance for me to start banging the social drum
again. More and more people are coming out the woodwork, and it's nice
to meet new people. Maybe we can agree on a date for everyone grab a
beer?
