You are all, as usual, warmly invited.

We have a speaker this month.  Dr Jacek Kopecky, a Senior Lecturer at the 
School of Computing of the University of Portsmouth, will talk about the new 
Atom.io editor, of which he is one of the developers, being a contributor to 
Atom's vim-mode package.

He will talk in particular about how it is open, and built on Web
technologies, so it's quite easy to hack. He is using it on a Mac, but Atom
also runs on Linux. 

Jack was an avid Linux user from 1995, until he switched to
Mac in 2010; sometimes he still misses the configurability and openness of
Linux.  Moreover, he likes open source.  This could be an opportunity to 
increase Jack's nostalgia for Linux to such an extent that he will start to 
use it again. ;-)

There will also be an opportunity to install Linux for those who want it, but 
cannot manage the install themselves; to help each other out with our 
problems: in other words to spread the word.  It is enjoyable just to have 
Linux and FLOSS chat.

Come to help and be helped. Come to chat and come to proselytise.

I hope to see some of you on Saturday!
