Hi

Welcome, well things are just picking up here.  As far as LPI a few
years ago they run them in Manchester.  I'm thinking of looking at it
again as I have plenty of free time on my hands.  I think O'Reilly do
some litritur for LPI.  Manchester post some stuff here too.  I've been
over for a tlak on devconf and just recently a project I can't remember
it's name which was fascinating about agregating data from a variety of
sources and using RDF and a common recipe of how to present related
data.  I learnt a lot even though my PA wasn't interested so ensured I
didn't get there on time and missed half of the talk.

It's not my thing but the boys are meeting in the New Britaina the first
Tuesday of the month.

four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.

Richard Matthew Stallman
