I've seen the plans of the BBC's new 'Campus' next to the Lowry building 
in Salford.  An impressive stack of I think four large buildings, so 
'techies' should have good facilities, and I suspect that once the 
advantages of better cheaper housing and less commuting are appreciated, 
they will be wanting all to come up, so we should have a major addition 
to the local Linux community.
