[Nottingham] Basford Datacentre Visit

Thu Sep 22 13:49:16 UTC 2016

Barry,

We usually meet every 1st, 3rd, and 5th (if there is one) Thursday each
month.

We also include a few extras around Beeston to fill in any gaps...

And then there are occasional impromptu celebrations as is the case for
tonight. :-)

Take a look on:

http://nottingham.lug.org.uk/events/list?tribe_event_display=past

for what we've recently done.

And we're usually quite spontaneous such that we'll be doing 'something'
'interesting' even if the website doesn't get updated until on the day!

(Best is to watch the maillist.)

A Thursday would make good sense, including for the ready availability
of late transport.

At the moment, a good assumption is that you'll have Paul, Jason, John
and myself interested. We run quite a few machines between us...

Others? Please list your interest.

(Normally, people do not get to walk into the cloud... Or the Matrix...
:-) )

Cheers,
Martin
