Thanks for that excellent summary Tim, I really should have remembered Manchester Free Software! To the OP, don't be put off by the name, there are plenty of people running Ubuntu in the group (as well as gnewsense). I would strongly recommend joining both the manlug [1] and MFS [2] mailing lists to keep up with events in the area. As Tim said, the drupal talk in February should be really interesting. Also, if you're interested in the more social side of things, then I would strongly recommend the monthly #manlug currybeer on 6th February.
