If we ever get some sort of meet organised that is open to the public
and we are able to do presentations to promote OSS it would be good to
get someone  along to give a talk on using linux in their business.  I
remember a talk at the school in exeter on moving the met office,  so
perhaps something similar for spec savers,

it would highlight how linux is being used in the real world.
