[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 13th September 2004

[Jim Jackson]

Hi All,

Thanks to Dave Fisher and GB Direct for the food at the summer pub meeting
last month. I think a good time was had by all.

At the last minute we actually have stuff to listen to next monday. I will
be giving a talk on how we use a VPN service here in Computing in the
University of Leeds - this is the talk I gave at the Linux2004 UKUUG
conference last month. And Paul Abbott will talk about a technology centre
for kids over in Bolton (www.uktic.org) he is setting up, and the role of
free/open source software in the project.

Hope to see lots of you on Monday

all the best
Jim

    A place where motivated kids go out of school hours to do fairly hard
       edged and spectacular technology, engineering and science work.
        Its ethos is very much in line with free/open source ideals.
      They have a sourceforge project (freeandeasy.sf.net) for some CNC
      machinery in schools. All computers will run Linux, with the aim
       to try and get kids real understanding of aspects of science,
          engineering and technology free from the constraints of
                      the National Curriculum.
