profiles: the art of making what comes out of Jessops match what's on
your screen.  I'd be interested in hearing more about that.

 Any chance of a weekday evening meeting (or daytime for that matter but 
 I suspect evening would suit more people) from time to time. Saturdays

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I know a bring a box meeting on a 
Saturday is very popular. A tech meeting or social in the evening 
on a weekday is fine if it's possible to find a location and 
enough warm bodies.

Our neighbours to the north only do a monthly social meeting in 
Reading at a pub (SCLUG) and the London.pm do more frequently than 
monthly social meetings with less frequent technical meetings. 
Surrey have done some pub meets as well as their normal Bring and 
Box meetings.

Were you thinking of a pub meeting for a few hours after work, and 
if so where?

Or were you thinking of a technical meeting - a few presentations 
and such?

Given the limited time in an evening some people won't travel, 
which is a problem in a rural county like Hampshire. The London.pm 
have plenty of social meetings because it's easy on London to nip 
to the pub and get home at a sensible time, it's harder to arrange 
in Hampshire.

days you run.

Id be interested in approaching Newbury College to ask about using one

Could I nab some info from you if poss, about the best way to ask etc,
if you donate towards the costs (heating, broadband) etc. And if the uni
gets some great publicity.

Any help you could chuck my way would be very helpfull.

Thanks
Phillip

I've chased up Tony to remind him... It's still not confirmed it's still 
an if all goes well event, however he did say: I can certainly talk
about colour profiles and management though as Chris asks, and will talk
about RAW processing and photo management too.

[Hampshire] Bring-a-Box meeting tomorrow (Saturday)

2008-12-11 Thread Dominic Cleal
Hello,

This is your final semi-automated reminder that the next joint Surrey and 
Hampshire LUG Bring-a-Box meeting is being held at the University of Surrey 
in Guildford, tomorrow, on Saturday 13th December.  Doors open from 11am 
until around 5pm.

  http://www.surrey.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BringABox

=== What's happening ===
The proposed timetable for the day is as follows, with a couple of talks in 
the morning before lunch.

11.00  Doors open
11.30  Adam Trickett of Hampshire LUG has kindly offered to give either of the 
   following talks (TBC): 
 * rsnapshot - simple backup 
 * Desktop Adapted for Dad (revised, expanded and UKUUG edition!)
12.15  Michael Judd will talk about the Adempiere, the open source ERP system

Jon Fautley has also offered to give a demo of Spacewalk and/or RHN if anybody 
expresses interest.

Followed by lunch and normal Bring-a-Box activities.

=== Further info ===
We're in the School of Management this time which is located at the front of 
the University, very close to the main car park.  The building (number 23 on 
the map) is to the left of the statue of Alan Turing and will have signs up 
outside.  The wiki contains more information, see below for the link.

Everybody is welcome at our meetings - no membership or previous experience is 
required.  Feel free to bring along a computer or laptop if you wish, we aim 
to provide power and internet access (wireless and wired).  Remember to bring 
a power extension and a long network cable if you need wired access.

=== Location ===
The campus is a short walk from the main Guildford train station and is just 
off the A3 if you're coming by car.  Full details are available on the wiki, 
including maps and detailed travel information to the University campus:
