You are all warmly invited.

Prue Amner will be talking about the dawn of computing. (She gave up active
programming and development in 1979!) We normally like things to be Unixy
and Open Source. But the subject of Prue's talk, “The first interactive
computer system to design real buildings”, antedates both. :-/

It will be our usual Bring a Box meeting: bring your problems, bring your
gadgets, come to chat or come to learn. Bring anything from a smartphone to
a large desktop - so long as it is, at least partly, Open Source! And
remember that Android has a Linux kernel. ;-) Or just bring yourself. You
may bring a box, not you must bring a box.

If you are daunted by something you want to install, upgrade, try out or test,
do your installation, upgrade, configuration, testing, at the meeting with
all those helpful, knowledgeable, people round you.

We do ask that if people want large downloads (the whole of Debian, anyone?)
they ask in advance and one of us will download the file or files and bring
them in.

I look forward to seeing you all there. ;-) If you haven't been before,
don't be shy. We are a friendly group, and would love to see you.
Come and see what we are about and what we look like.

Lisi
