Re: [LUG] Farseer enterprises

[paul sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

On this I emailed kevin (runs farseer enterprises) back with some ideas 
on software,  what he wants is to set up a few demo machines,  I got 
back and asked if he could perhaps suggest a possible venue, so we could 
arrange a meeting with the lug, that way  as a group we can both install 
Linux and discuss ideas in person.

As this was a group thread a while back it looks like 2005 things could 
actually start coming together, esp if he would be able to come to the 
easter meeting.

Not sure when but I would guess after XMAS is over,  we  could meet up 
in paignton one evening and come up with some ideas,  these meets seem 
to work very well. 

I think if I am reading my fixture list correctly, the 26/27th March is 
easter Sat / Sunday.

2005 - the year of GNU.
