Hi all, Do count me in for a get together. I'm currently away on holiday and not checking my emails regularly.
My suggestion for a venue would be The Hack Space in Bretton. Fast broadband and plenty of space to spread hardware. It is a members only place but I can speak to Tyler (owner) and see how much it would cost to host a meet up. As a side note can someone tell me what is that recent interest with SUSE all about. I thought this distro is dead ;) Cheerio, Bart W dniu czwartek, 4 sierpnia 2022 clive via Peterboro < peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk> napisał(a): > Apologies.
