Sounds like an excellent idea :)
I think that MadLab (madlab.org.uk) would be a good location, if possible?

I agreed with Jon, most people are likely to be over in Liverpool for

Just a quick reminder that the Global Jam is this weekend.
I've put some notes up on the wiki, in case people are curious as to
what they can do:

Hi Les
I really think it depends what people decide to do. Working on
documentation, the wiki or triaging some bugs is unlikely to require
Lucid. Whereas, testing upgrades for example would.
I'm going to try to put Lucid Beta 1 on my netbook before the Jam, but
I intend to have a usb stick or two
Just to clarify with people, ManLUG have not held a meeting at the
University of Manchester since before the construction works. There
was talk of starting meetings again but at a different location.
Manchester Free Software held a fairly large event there for Software
Freedom Day (same building),
Thanks again Simon for sending the email out.
I've just looked at the dates and I've realised I won't be able to
make one of the days!
I agree that MadLab would be a good place to hold it and I'll see if I
can speak to someone this weekend.
Failing that, I think the BBC might be good, but it wou

This is a reminder that Manchester will be celebrating the release of
Ubuntu 9.10,
Karmic Koala with a release party.
The event will be at the Pitcher & Piano on Deansgate Locks from 6pm
until late on Friday 30th October. That's the day after the official
release. The party is free to attend and n

I agree. Microsoft is a threat because of their monoply. They are very
good at locking-in users, however they are starting to feel threatened
by Linux and the negativity they received after the release of Vista.
Hence the 'release party' move (as well as various open source

Just to clarify with people, if you hadn't signed up on Facebook,
Yahoo or with me by 9am this morning then security will not let you

Also, due to the numbers of people expected, BBC security have asked
people to try to arrive by 7pm sharp, otherwise it may be difficult to
get in.
