Ok, I am pissed off that I am €8 short! My Żebbuġġi and Belti mixed genes are trying to surface, but rather than give me the mony I would rather see whoever forgot to pay, give his due as a donation to the CD distribution project. I think the calculation came to around €1 a CD. If we produce them locally (by hand) they will turn out cheaper than that, but we would use whatever money is left over to print leaflets/posters etc. Ralph said he will try to help us, but I would rather we help ourselves. If every one reading this forks out 1 or 2 €, we're covered. I paid for your coffee and bubbly water now pay up for a good cause.
Regarding location/power I found Irrera very noisy, so much so that I would not mind changing location. OTOH it is central, has a nice view, wi-fi and good coffee. but we should choose a location illi għandu pjaċir binha as we say in maltese. to reduce power consumption check out http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/ Philip 2008/6/22 Ramon Casha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > We should clear it up with the owner before the next meeting, make sure that > there will be no objections after we get there.
