I'm happy to do one on Scribus as well as a couple of other things which
may or may not happen soon - though they are unlikely to be free :-(

Depending on the amount etc and what they get in return, I may be able
to get a couple of sponsors (I'm well in with some companies). As for
promotion, I'll see what I can do. I may even be able to book a couple
of spots on Channel M (a TV station we run from work which broadcasts to
Manchester) to help on that.

We should aim to make it a very interesting event. Remember, we have two
large divisions of HP in Manchester and Warrington as well as having IBM
in Cheshire (I think), so there shouldn't be a problem with big
companies.
