Yes.  Sponsored by ....

www.clubukonline.co.uk

which is sponsored by the DTI.  So, 'bout the same thing I s'pose.

Not tried anything official in this direction but would welcome any 
help from anyone who wants to either help me to put some more of our 
conference together or to get more interest from the DTI/NCC or 
possibly even IBM.  I've been in touch with IBM a few times but can't 
get anything more than a lukewarm response from them.  It's as though 
their whole attitude is that only advertising agencies do conferences 
and LUGs most certainly do not exist.

Those of you who don't know.  We've put a conference together at 
..... www.swfc.co.uk .... for the 21st of February.  People like 
Jeremy Allison will give talks about their work and we'll have some 
Linux PCs and laptops around the place so that people can play with 
them.  Got an ISDN connection and a data projector.

Thanks
