[Preston] Free lunch! ;-) [Fwd: [Menai-LUG] AFFS Conference]

[Richard Smedley]

Hello all,

If anyone feels up to a trip down the M6, the UK's only
event entirely devoted to Free Software takes place
in Birmingham this weekend.

Non-members can attend by joining AFFS, which remains
staggeringly cheap, and "The Right Thing To Do" (TM), if
you want to protect and promote the use of Free Sofware
in the UK. Last year's do was a great event, and well worth
the trip.

Details and links below.
