Don't worry, you're well known! At least around our circles!! ;-)

You're very welcome to meet and to give a talk. I'm sure we can arrange.

Hopefully, our Canning Circus room will be too small :-P


And I'm sure we have a good welcome also from the Hackspace people and
the Skeptics folks :-)


So.. Mon 27th Oct:

That's a bit of a choice between the central convenience and easy
parking/transport of the Canalhouse compared to the more FLOSS-like
'ambience' of the Hackspace although further out of town.

Also, the Canalhouse has food and beer and heating available.


Matt:

You on for doing TWO talks?! ;-)



We've got 14 days and counting.

Will be very good to involve all of our groups. Can we go for a combined
NLUG - Hackspace - Skeptics hosted talk at the Canalhouse big room?

Hopefully entice some to come from further afield by train and bus.


Mon 27th Oct: "Free Software and The GNU Project"


Possible follow-up talk at the Hackspace Wed open evening?

"Free Culture"

...???


(Skeptics) Andy?
(Hackspace) Dominic/Denny?


And any University people on the list to spread the word?...


Cheers,
Martin
