An event that should be of interest to some of you. A sudden thought I've had - would it be possible to post notices of UK events to the Ubuntu-UK website? And perhaps provide an rss feed.

It is completely Free Software. Being able to completely control a cell phone gives new posibillities that people only dreamed of. Have you ever had a mobile phone where you have been annoyed by some of the functionality and thought: "If only I had the source code I could have fixed this annoying thing"? Then you are not alone. The phone Neo Freerunner from FIC runs a completely free operating system. Because it is free it is possible to try out completely new ideas - even ideas that the phone companies make no money from. The presentation will be about the possibilities and how you can take part in this revolution. About the speaker: Ole Tange has worked as Hostmaster for .dk, as a security consultant, as network admin, as site reliablility engineer, and is now working as developer. He has worked with UNIX since 1991, GNU/Linux since 1992, and in 1996 he deleted his Microsoft Windows partition. He has done lots of presentations on security, Free Software, and IT political issues (such as software patents) - both for the general public and to polticians. He is best know as the person behind Parallel, the patented webshop and wordprocessor and Remindmail. He sees a completely Free phone as the most disrupting that has happened since the introduction of GNU/Linux. -- UKUUG Secretariat PO Box 37 Buntingford Herts SG9 9UQ Tel: 01763 273475 Fax: 01763 273255 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ukuug.org A Company Limited by Guarantee Registered Office: The Manor House Buntingford Herts SG9 9AB Reg.
