Should Microsoft design our national curriculum (and does Brian cox know
the correct answer to this question?!)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/9707886.stm
ok, so actually, this has really freaked me out, I had no idea that
Microsoft were working directly with AQA to design the curriculum. Please
can people feedback about this?

I've set up hosting for http://mailpod.org, and redirected it to the
wiki page for now.
At least people going to the address will now find something to read!
Thanks,

I've created the initial wiki pages:

Anyone can add and extend. Please do! Especially pictures and the video
would be good.
Best,

thought this was cool (though sure the free-ness is diluted much)
Still - awseome effects etc, and good to get OS mentioned by someone so
unusual :)
(ps: flossie, maybe he would do a show for our eneternatinment! Should I
email him?!)
Best

It's great that FSFE will have a presence at this important event.

An IRC meeting is about to take place in #fossbox on Freenode about planning
the Chorlton Green Festival Free Software booth on 31st March.
We'll be discussing how to link up with the Green Light environmental festival
in Leicestershire, and other details of the booth.
Please join us!
Sam.
PS To clarify, attending more than one Free Software booth at either festival
is warmly encouraged. All are welcome both online and in person.

Posters have arrived from the printers - 2,000 of them, and they need putting
up in public places all over Manchester.
Stephen Fry, Open Standards, and Document Freedom day are a winning
combination.
Have a look: http://documentfreedom.org/artwork.en.html
I can post them to you folded (free of charge), or you can come and collect
them from Hulme (OpenSpace, weekdays). I can also bring some to Arcspace on
Thursday for those who would like them.
Order online for posting:
http://documentfreedom.org/posters.en.html (gives a white screen currently,
but works fine).
Let me know - Document Freedom Day is on Wednesday 28th next week!

Out of interest, this company offers co-location in Media City for £35
per month, should we ever need it for mailpod. A fit PC should easily
fit their space requirements, but our current server would not.
Co-location is basically where we pay someone to house and power our
server hardware for us.
http://www.primevalcolo.com/shop/
Also the fit-pc 3 is now more powerful than last time I checked. Current
specs of their most powerful model:
1.65 GHz dual core
2GB DDR3
250GB with Linux Mint
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n + BT 3
18 watts
Currently £379.35 all inclusive, though an additional HDD would be very
prudent.
Just keeping you all up to date on options for the future :)
Sam.
