September 2013 meeting

Hi guys!

I am very pleased to announce that the next meeting will be held at QinetiQ’s Haslar site at 1pm on the 7th September.

We will have limited network access (i.e. a few people may have mobile broadband) so please do not expect to be able to do installs or updates from the web.

To keep our security guys happy can you please register your interest with me by email (chairman@hantslug.org.uk) no later than Wednesday 4th September.

Although publicly criticising any attempts [continued…]
