Just a thought, but if we are going to be at the BBC bar, does anyone
think it might be a good idea to send that bbc Click! show a message? -
Its been quite a while since I have seen that show but I assume its
still going

I think we should
organise a release party around the time of the release - it happens
on Thursday 23rd April but the weekend of 24/25th April might be more
appropriate.
Question is, are people interested and where and when could we have the party?
Okay

Hello everyone

Linux user, living in South Manchester. My interest is in the promotion
of free software to the general public. I am an experienced Ubuntu user,
web designer and can
Right, I've given this at least 3 minutes worth of thought..
It looks like Manchester has a large population of Ubuntu users, not
to mention other GNU/Linux users as well. I think it's time more of us
got together and the upcoming Jaunty release gives us the perfect
opportunity. So following Jono

I would suggest that a pub is probably easiest, somewhere like the
Waterhouse[1], which is central, child friendly and cheap (any other
suggestions?). Although if people are unhappy with going to a pub then
maybe we can sort out a room somewhere
2009/3/20 Matt matthas...@ntlworld.com:
Hi
I personally would prefer the venue not to be a pub. A community setting
would be more appropriate. I would like the launch to promote
meaningfully and not just be a party
I'm actually thinking the release party should just be a party, it
will give

hello again. I have consulted the manuals online, and it seems all
routes lead me back to the Network Connections panel, in which the only
connection I can see, when the Ethernet cable to the BT HomeHub is
plugged in, is 'Point to Point', and
I would really like to go to the Brum Bug Jam this weekend, but
unfortunately it's a bit far away (I'm in Manchester) and I certainly
couldn't get there for 9am. Does anyone know if it's going to be on
IRC as well as RL, or if there's any other way I can take part?
