This is a reminder that this evening at 19.00 is the September Manchester Fellowship Meeting of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
We have a special speaker, the Chairman of the Open Source Consortium, as well as our usual discussion topics, and there also a planned demonstration of Free Software applications for new GNU/Linux users at the end of the meeting.
So if you would like to hear about the battle to convince our Government to use more Free Software, or if you are curious about some of the powerful things that you can do with Free Software, then please come along to MadLab this evening.
Kind regards,
Sam.
wooot, see you all there folks! I shall be debuting my new ORANGE ponsho dress. Happy days!

Thank you all for meeting me tonight. I hope that we can work more closely and with more co-ordination on issues of common concern.
We're working with ORG too.
If you were wondering about what we get up to take a look at what we get up to it's all here http://www.opensourceconsortium.org

The advantages to us is that we can reach out to more MPs and other groups because your membership brings us locus.
In terms of participation in OSC activity, this can be as little or as much as you like. However by bringing in local issues with wider implications, it enables us to hold politicians of all hues to account.

Gerry, somewhere between Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent
