Hi The organisers of UCubed decided after our previous event, that the we should run the event annually, and as the next release in April 2012 is an LTS, expect a much larger event ;) If it's of any interest, Blackpool LUG will be hosting an installfest at Barcamp Blackpool on the 15th October, I'm sure you can grab a free ticket for the event and come along. http://barcampblackpool.com Thanks Les Pounder http://about.me/lespounder On Sep 14, 2011 9:44 AM, Tim Dobson li...@tdobson.net wrote: On 14/09/11 07:42, Ted Wager wrote: Anything going on in the High Peak/Stockport area ?

The LoCo directory doesn't (in my opinion) (at the moment) have added value for the people attending the Barcamp event.

According to some roadmaps you should to be able to mount a USB drive in Honeycomb (I think) Ice Cream but not sure if it was implemented. Their has been work in a couple of the custom ROM's to give that functionality but never test it myself.
