Manchester Free Software Talk - Enrico Zini, Debian stories

[Tim Dobson-2]

Manchester Free software's next meeting will be on Tuesday 18th August 2009.

Talk
------
This month’s talk will be given by Debian Developer, Enrico Zini.

In his own words:

"I like to tell stories and I have stories to tell. I will start
covering the recent Debian Conference in Cáceres (Extremadura, Spain),
and from there I will continue with stories about Debian, and about how
Debian is being used in interesting ways."

Enrico can be found online at http://www.enricozini.org/

Location
----------
The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O'
Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located
in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a
little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and drinks on
offer). Just ask at the bar if you can't find us. Their website[1] has
full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and
drink available. The venue also provides wifi.

General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be
found on our website[2].

If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please

Wow, that actually looks pretty interesting. I'm not sure where the Gowrie pub is, but I wouldn't mind sitting in there at 7 and listening to this guy talk. Does anybody else think they're going? If so, do they know where this pub is? I realise there are directions, but it's always much better to go with somebody who has been before.

I'm going. I tend to film all MFS talks.

It's ten minutes from Piccadilly station/piccadilly gardens and 5
minutes from oxford road station as well as being right next to the BBC
on oxford road.

Openstreetmap actually provide the most accurate map of where it is:

I think there are 4 of us going to this now.

Anyone else fancy coming along? :)
