Assuming I could attend I would be coming all the way from Harwich and would have to try and beg some Colchester friends (you know who you are) to let me stay on their sofa (as the last Colchester train is a lot later than the last Harwich train).

[ubuntu-uk] 3 Mobile USB modem
Hi folks, My dad has just taken out a new mobile contract on Three and as part of the deal they gave him a 3 Mobile Broadband USB modem (Huawei E220). Now I've been googling for a while now about this modem but I can't find any specific instructions on how to get this modem working in the UK with the 3 Mobile network. The nearest thing I have found is either for 3 in Australia, 3 Ireland or for T-Mobile. The modem is detected and is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 and I get the following in dmesg when I add the modem: [ 485.40] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [ 485.56] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 485.564000] option 2-2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected [ 485.564000] usb 2-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 I've created a fresh new wvdial.conf file containing the following: [Dialer Defaults] Phone = *99***1# Username = username Password = password Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT [Dialer three] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Init2 = ATZ Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem When I try to dial it I get the following: WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem. WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATZ WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATQ0 WvDial<*1>: Re-Sending: ATZ WvDial: Modem not responding. I'm stumped now. It's the first time I've played with anything like this before and I can't find a definitive how to for this modem, 3 Mobile Broadband in the UK and Ubuntu 7.10. Has anyone managed to get it working?

[ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron Release Party
Hi all, It's that time of year again, to talk about release parties. Hardy Heron (8.04) has now reached 'Beta' phase, and with stable announcement being planned for April 24th we need to organise the festive celebration. Ubuntu-UK had a very successful Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) party[1]. This was held in the Pembury Tavern, Hackney[2]. This was quite a good location, Linux friendly and free wifi. I expect some disagreement on the location, and therefore suggest multiple parties - one up north, and one in the south. I travelled around 4 hours to attend the London one, and consider that as far as I can reasonably travel without a /planned/ overnight stay. I will buy drinks for anyone who travels over two hours to attend the celebration. :) Kind Regards, Dave Walker [1] http://daviey.mooo.com/ubuntu-uk/ubuntu-uk-release-party.html [2] http://www.individualpubs.co.uk/pembury/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

It's an interesting idea though. What sort of software would you expect to find in such a distribution?
