And on that note we have:

    DFEY - Digital Freedom for Education and Youth

"A community for young freedom lovers, but only in North West England so 
far..."

We have an IRC channel - #dfey on freenode, come and say hi!

At the moment we are finalising other methods of communication - see the 
"mailing lists" vs "forums" vs "solutions which do both" debate.

DFEY hopes to work *with* Manchester Free Software, local LUGs and 
similar organisations to help encourage and promote young people's 
involvement with the free software community.
