john -------- Original Message -------- Hello, On Saturday 16th September we have a GLLUG meeting starting at 1200. This meeting is the London celebration of Software Freedom Day. SFD is an annual event that takes place in hundreds of locations across the globe. The event celebrates Free Software and our digital freedom. We will be meeting in the south-eastern corner of Regents Park where the Outer Circle meets Park Square East. There is a map of our meeting location here: http://tinyurl.com/l96x7 After meeting we will walk along the Euston Road and Tottenham Court Road handing out leaflets and speading the good word to the London public. At 1300 we will start our monthly technical meeting at the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster University. This is in the shadow of the BT Tower, the nearest tube stations are Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Goodge Street. You will find a map at: http://gllug.org.uk/uploads/wmin-campus.pdf NOTE: you will need to sign in at the front desk to gain access to the building. More information is available on our website http://www.gllug.org.uk This event is FREE to members and non-members alike. We have 3 speakers confirmed so far for the meeting. Malcolm Yates works for Canonical and will be speaking about the Ubuntu project Jim Bailey is a member of GLLUG and will be speaking on How to install and use the Wordpress weblog application. This talk is aimed at novice to intermediate users of GNU/Linux so if you've never been to a GLLUG meeting before in fear of being overwhelmed with the technical content this one is for you. Simon Morris will be speaking on using encrypted filesystems to secure the contents of USB memory sticks. I am waiting for a few more speakers to confirm before announcing them but this should be a good meeting! Hope to see you there. -- ~sm Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://beerandspeech.org -- Gllug mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gllug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
