[SWLUG] [Fwd: Mandriva Linux 2008 Installfest: November 17th, 2007]

This sounds like a good idea,  but no one says where they are.   I am in 
Carmarthen.

I put a sticky note advertising SWLUG meetings in a Linux Mag in a local 
newsagent.  

Carmarthen is unlikely to have much of a meeting in Oct as about 40% of 
Sept attendees stated they will then be on holiday.   Nov meet is after 
the Fest.  If we do something will we limit to Mandrake?
