[Fsuk-manchester] Free Software and Beyond - The World of Peer Production

[Lucy]

This is a final reminder that the Oekonux Conference is happening this
weekend (see below). It looks to be a really exciting event and it
would be great to have as many as possible from Manchester Free
Software. Please feel free to pass it on to anyone who might be
interested.

Additionally, if you think you might be able to lend a hand at some
point over the weekend (with stewarding, etc) please let me know.

Best wishes

Lucy
