[SC.LUG] Free Software and Beyond - The World of Peer Production

[Lucy]

This looks to be a really exciting event. Please feel free to pass it
on to anyone who might be interested.

Additionally, if you think you might be able to lend a hand at some
point over the weekend (stewarding, etc) please let me know as they
are really in need of extra help. I believe they are also looking for
crash space for the speakers from Europe and N America so if anyone
can help out with that it would be great.

I will be there with Manchester Free Software selling books and badges
from the FSF.

Kind regards

Lucy
