[Sussex] Moot talks

[Dominic Humphries]

Heya,

March would be a little too soon, I'm afraid, although I am intending to
attend. Can certainly have something ready for the May moot, tho!

If there's nothing else on the cards & there's any interest in either
topic, I could probably come up with an intro to either git or Gnu
Screen for March's moot - I have a vague recollection of git getting a
mention on slug's mailing list before, can't remember if it had an
actual presentation done on it or not tho..

Cheers

Dominic
