Gareth, Karl and I went up to the LinuxWorld show in London yesterday
[to day as far as I am concerned as I haven't been to bed yet :-) ].

Normal type of show - we enjoyed ourselves, but there are two bits of
new that are worth reporting that came out of the Linux Debate.

1). Watch Channel 4 News today (Friday) at 7:30pm.  One guy from the audience
    announced that, other news permitting, C4 would be running a story
    on Open Source.

2). One of the panel had already read the Government report into Open
    Source in Government that is to be published shortly (about 1 month
    if memory serves).  He said it was well worth reading.  Given the 
    audience I read that in only one way, but I will leave you all to make
    up your own mind.
