Are they delivered by snail mail? I was away for a couple of weeks recently and my mail box over filled, so I hope I have not lost a tickets email I did re register yesterday anyway, although I am not sure if the new tickets (?) will arrive in time (by wednesday that is) Any ideas? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

You can pick up tickets on the door, at least you always have been able to in the past. As long as they have you on their computers they'll print you a new pass without having to pay.

Hi Dave, Explain to me how this is going to work. Do we have a corner in a much larger exhibition? Is there going to be enough Linux stuff to justify a trip from the South West? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

At least that's what I'm telling the other half ;-) I would have loved to have come along but due to low finances and the fact I crashed my car last week I'm going to be unable to make it this year. I presume the Linux Expo Live 2009 will be around the same time next year? Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Sean Hi Sean, The actual event at Olympia is split between Mac expo and Linux expo. The Linux expo is then further split between commercial and organisations (.org village [0]), normally I would expect us to be in the .org village - however I did speak with Canonical's Marketting director - and we may well end up sharing Canonical's stand if it is more favourable for us. I'll be travelling from Devon, probably by train - so if you want to travel together, give me a nod.

Dave, Forgive me for being a complete idiot but could you confirm I've added my name correctly? Unfortunately, I can only do the Saturday.
