Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] One day exhibition of Linux?

I would be willing to come along, provided that enough people were going
to be there. The problem of course is that members of this list are all
spread out all over the country.
We could also host something here for those in the south-east: again I'd
be ready to do that on a regular basis if there were enough interest.
People should also join their local LUG (Linux User Group - some are very
active, others less so): there's a lot of goodwill out there ...
I spoke at the Manchester LUG meeting on Saturday, partly about Linux in
schools - there were a good lot of people there. (By the way if anyone
would like a copy of my talk, I'm happy to mail it to them)
