That would be good if you could put the word out, I was trying to work

I've ended up organising this. I'm a Debian Developer, as well as
being an RA at the University. There's a new module running this year,
"Open Source development Issues", so I suggested to Richard Shipman
inviting Steve as a guest speaker, and then Chris Price said we should
make it a wider event.
