DFEY-NW (Digital Freedom in Education & Youth - North West) is a group focusing on young people and issues of freedom in the digital world, based in the Northwest of England at the moment. === In Brief === WHERE: Meet near KFC, Upstairs, Piccadilly Station, Manchester VENUE: Marbella Cafe, above Sunshine Studios, 52 Newton Street. WHEN: Sunday 19th October, 12pm -> ~4pm SIGN UP: http://dfey-nw.eventwax.com/admin/dfey-nw-october-meeting CONTACT: Email - team at dfey dot freedomdreams dot net -- MAILING LIST: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dfey-nw-discuss WEBSITE: http://dfey.freedomdreams.co.uk -- Notes from the August meeting: http://dfey.freedomdreams.co.uk/wiki/August_Meeting/Notes === Meeting === We have switched venues from The Waterhouse, to Marbella Cafe - a very interesting place in the Northern Quarter where Manchester Free Space recently set up a community LTSP cluster. This seems a very appropriate location for a group of our nature. In addition, I can vouch for the cheap, *very nice* food and extremely friendly staff. We will have an strong wifi connection so hopefully we can avoid the issues from the last meeting! This creates the possibility that we could broadcast the meeting over VOIP... an interesting thought at least. Due to some people having had difficulty finding the Marbella in the past, I suggest we meet *upstairs* not far from KFC at Piccadilly train station at about 12pm (look for geeks, laptops, t-shirts, signs saying "DFEY", stickers etc.) Once everyone has arrived, we will then move on to Marbella. We aim to have finished by about 4pm. To make sure everyone is at the station before we move on to the venue, it would help if you could sign up at our eventwax page here: http://dfey-nw.eventwax.com/admin/dfey-nw-october-meeting If you think a contact number might be helpful on the day, email me and I will sort one out :) === Contact === Please join our *low traffic* mailing list for updates: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dfey-nw-discuss or use the forum interface: http://dfey.freedomdreams.co.uk/wiki/Forum We also are on IRC for questions and socialising at: #dfey on irc.freenode.net There is also a web interface if you haven't mastered IRC yet: http://dfey.freedomdreams.co.uk/wiki/Chat Our Facebook Group is http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24304402298 === About DFEY-NW === DFEY-NW (Digital Freedom in Education and Youth) is a group formed in response from a growing need in the Northwest of England for a Group to encourage and promote young people's involvement with the free software community by creating a social space to make it more comfortable for young people to get involved with GLUGs and FSUGs. -- www.tdobson.net ---- If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.
