I've spoken to Darius (lead No. 1) and he no longer has his projector,
he traded it in to get a bigger TV IIRC or just no longer had a use
for it due to his larger television. However I will ask if he can get
a projector from Neath college as his mother is a lecturer there and
may just be able to borrow one if the other lead can't get it. :)

If it possible for me to attend, (I really hope that I can) I've been
having some availability difficulties of late. I've started a new job
this week and was supposed to start on Monday but it has been
postponed until tomorrow morning, Thursday so I'm unsure as to whether
or not I'll be free for both Saturday (Ubuntu Cymru release party) &
Sunday. I'll be happy to do a talk (or two) if I'm there, perhaps a
summary of the new release (3 days before the meeting), Jaunty
speaking of the new features and to see if I can answer any questions
and perhaps then something more technical than a distro summary/news
:).

I've only ever had my keysigned at Ubuntu bugjam in London so I
haven't much experience in that department however I would love to
sign and get my key signed :). I like the idea of GPG.

I can't wait.

With kind regards,
