mailing lists.

---

Date Wed November 4th, 2009 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Liverpool Social Centre, 96 Bold Street, Liverpool, England L1 4HY
Speaker: Simon Johnson, and Andrew Williams

Liverpool Linux User Group are a group of Linux and open source software users 
that meet on the
first Wednesday of the month. If no talk is organised then we will usually 
organise a “open stage”
for people to discuss projects, current news, or just to rant.

Main Talk
This month, depending on the time, we may have two talks.

Simon Johnson will be giving his flying talk on building computers from 
scratch, from the logic gates
upwards. 

In addition, Andrew Williams will be giving a quick talk on contributing to 
open source projects, what
are the pitfalls and why even non-programmers should give their time to a 
project.

Open Stage
As per usual, time will be allocated to the end of the talk for anyone to give 
a five minute talk
on any subject. If you want some time just drop me a mail or grab me on the day.

Doors are usually open before 7:00pm if people want to meet up in the centre,  
The Liverpool
Social Centre is two doors up from Forbidden Planet and is the right-hand door 
at the front of
“News From Nowhere”. Check the window for a handy Liverpool LUG sign, which 
will indicate we are
there and not still at the pub. Press the white doorbell for access (the one 
marked basement) and
someone will come up and open the door for you.

This month we're sharing the location with a book group, so be aware if someone 
strange opens the 
door for you. Ask for the Linux group and you should be OK.

After any talks are finished will usually stay in the meeting area until 8:00pm 
then head out to a
local pub, The pub varies from month to month and usually depends on the size 
of the crowd. If you 
arrive late and unsure of where we are then give one of the contacts a ring.
