Dear Michael,

I'm surprised noone else has responded to this yet...

You'll be very welcome at our next meet-up where all the relevant 
details will be getting an airing in fine detail.

The 'Awareness Day' is intended to show an example of what at least one 
segment of Linux 'is'. Interested/enthused attendees can then walk away 
with an installation cd to then try it at home for themselves, or get 
details for a follow-on 'install fest'. I would guess we'll be keeping 
it 'home use' oriented to match the expected audience. (A much plusher 
more serious do is required for generating 'business use' interest.)


Meanwhile, sounds like we need a 'Communications Officer' to coordinate 
our mushrooming publicity machine!

(Mr Cambell(sp?) need not apply (:-))

Regards,
Martin
