I may or may not be going to this (it clashes with another event in london)

If you can make it, I really recommend it. I suspect it could well be
manchester's answer to FOSDEM and there are some big name speakers there
- eg.Chris Langbridge

Anyone thinking of going?

Tim

P.s. you pronounce it uck-nux ("u" as in "kooks")

Just to add to this, the organisers are still looking for people to
help out stewarding and selling cakes, etc. If you're interested
please send an email to Yuwei Lin <[hidden email]>.

Additionally, Manchester Free Software will be there selling books and
badges from the FSF, so please come along, have a look and say 'hi'.
