Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the delay in replying, The Idea is to have a whole day even in Valletta on the 25th October (A Saturday) with stall promoting their ideas, other participants are to include Friends of the Earth and Arka (the fair-trade shop), so a Pro-Linux Stand is in line (the MS bashing would be implicit by promoting an alternative). The event will be outdoors, so I can foresee some logistical problems, the major one being net connectivity.
I hope there is enough interest so we can do this, Philip On Tue, 2003-09-02 at 08:19, Ramon Casha wrote: > Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Do you have any further information about this event?
