MadLab would be perfect for this. If you contact Dave Mee d...@madlab.org.uk and Asa Calow a...@madlab.org.uk they can provide times they have available. There's space on the 2nd and ground floor and they are *very* open to having "geek" events going on. -- Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs LPIC-1 Cert

I've done a bit of looking around myself and found the Manchester Linux Users Group . It seems they were holding meetings every month through 2008 have had none since last January due to construction works at the Kilburn building. They had an installfest planned for October
