That would be good.

As the event is in County Hall, in Butetown, it may be an idea to send a
note to each of the four party spokespeople for e-commerce in the
National Assembly (which is just across the road after all) inviting
them.  Likewise the four party representatives on Cardiff City Council
to invite them to see for themselves Linux working - maybe work in a
short presentation on the advantages of open source and some demos of
the Welsh language localisation that is happening with Linux?

I don't really have any portable equipment to bring, and I am very much
a newbie, but I live 12 minutes slow walk from County Hall, so can be on
hand.
