>> Hello
>>
>> I've just read on Jonos blog that he has teamed up with Ted Haegar
>> from Novell USA to do a series of LUG talks in the UK free of charge.
>>
>> Information from his page:
>>
>> The Fight! UK LUG Tour
>>
>> Are you in a LUG? Are you looking for a crime fighting, super-hero duo
>> to not only come to your LUG and talk about the fun going on at Novell
>> but to also talk about effective Linux advocacy and the desktop? Its
>> coming and we want you...
>>
>> For one week only starting April 17th 2006, Jono Bacon from the UK and
>> Ted Haegar from the USA will tour the UK, cramming in as many LUGs as
>> possible and providing some interesting and entertaining
>> presentations. Supported by Novell and OpenAdvantage, this tour is
>> entirely free for your LUG - you supply an audience, and Ted and Jono
>> are there.
>>
>> If you are are interested in having Jono and Ted visit your LUG, send
>> an email to lugtour at jonobacon.org and tell us:
>>
>>    * The name of your LUG
>>    * Your location
>>    * A preferred date
>>    * A few paragraphs telling us about your LUG and why we should stop there
>>
>> There are only limited slots on the tour, so get your applications in.
>> Due to the limited availability, you may need to schedule the LUG
>> meeting on an alternative night if there are clashes. Let us know if
>> this is a problem.
>>
>> ----
>>
>> This sounds quite interesting. I know we have Jono lined up for a talk
>> soon, but this talk could be very interesting.
>>
>> What do you other members think about it? Is there anybody who can
>> write enough good words about the LUG to make Jono come?
>>
>> I think this could be very good for the LUG, and also for the Open
>> Source movement in Nottingham. It might be worth getting in contact
>> with local businesses as Novell is very well known in business.
>>
>> I think it's an idea :)
