Well, the groups being going strong now for over 2 years (it existed 
before that but had been dormant for a long time).

Things like the LUGs presence at the fair are the result of an effort in 
recent months to more formally organise the activities group.  I applaud 
all those who've been involved in that - whilst I've been very busy this 
year and unable to attend meets and the like for quite some time now I 
am very happy to see how this group is evolving.

I do hope you be able to swing by and see you guys at some point in the 
next few months.

Here at Cmed Tech we've been in stressout mode this week.  The first 
live boxen are in the field today!  So my work load is peaking right 
now, but hopefully things will get a lot better soon.  One nice upshot 
of what we're doing is that some open source stuff (like Ndiswrapper for 
example) are getting industrial strength testing and fixing where 
necessary so we can use it on Linux based devices in the field.

We're also producing some nice little open source tools around our 
products.  Look on Sourceforge for Midge, Bandsaw, PMock and Hacksaw and 
at http://www.skypickle.com and http://www.tealeg.uklinux.net for some 
examples of what we've been doing.  Hopefully we'll consolidate all that 
stuff on a single Cmed F/OSS page soon.
