Ah, I didn't realise, I thought we sprung you from somewhere else. It's
definitely the sort of thing we ought to be going to, because of the
people who would be interested. I'm not sure why so few people I know go
though; I must move in different circles.

Hmm, they do look interesting. Do we have any Scottish subscribers to
fsfe-uk? I suspect few.. it would be worth seeing if they would be
interested in setting up a Free Software SIG, they seem to be fairly
'innovation' oriented.

Having taken leaflets by train to places, I can assure you a bike
probably wouldn't be a good idea ;) Are you actually taking a push bike,
or a motorcycle?

As an addendum, going back on topic, this appeared in a timely fashion
on slashdot:

"An Open Source Strategy for the Open Group"

Interesting reading.

Cheers,
