I know we are in Paignton but any chance of the Tech jam getting a
mention around the Uni Please,

Would be good to get a few people down,  we are trying to forge links
with other groups.

As we are using GNU / Linux at the jam on Pi's , laptop, netbooks and
our work in progress file server,   it may help you with some of what
you mentioned above.
