You may like to know that the planned Winter School this year will be on the topic of 'Open Source' (Linux/mySQL and the like.) We are hoping to aquire speakers in the categories of Independent, for an overview (journalist?); User and Developer. IBM are sending a speaker, I believe Any pupils who would like to attend will not be charged admission. The meetings will probably be on Monday evenings at 7.00pm (coffee served from 6.30) at the Novotel in Long Eaton on 6th, 13th & 20th of October We may be able to liase in other ways to our mutual benefit also (e.g. we have funds set aside for special projects.)
