If an [EVENT] (or on a another fairly high volume list I'm on [ANN], short for announcement, is a desirable prefix) then I'll certainly try to help people We have about 14 young hackers from DFEY from all around the UK heading to London this weekend. The support everyone has given us, getting us to this point where we can go events like this, is something we really hold dear to us. The first anniversary of DFEY-NW's first meeting is on the 31st August, at the time a landmark of months of hard work but with an uncertain future - whilst there's is lots more to do, we have come a long way since then. Things have certainly changed since the days of nearly getting kicked out of the place we were meeting because a pub was the only convenient place we could find to meet, despite most of us being underage! :P If you aren't familiar with Digital Freedom in Education & Youth, please drop past and take a look at our new website at www.dfey.org Many Thanks, Tim (DFEY-NW Co-organiser) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
