Hello Anglia Linux Users,
I am the coordinator for UK OpenMute Tour, a tour about cultural uses of Free and Open Source Software. I sent an invite to your list earlier in the year, but the date was postponed, as a few members of the list expressed an interest I am sending it again with the new date for two days of workshop at Norwich Arts Centre, December 1st-2nd.

ALL WELCOME / NO ADMISSION CHARGE
About Mongrel
Mongrel is a mixed bunch of people, machines and intelligence's working to celebrate the methods of a motley culture. We make socially engaged culture, which sometimes means making art, sometimes software, sometimes setting up workshops, or helping other mongrels to set things up.
We do this by employing any and all technological advantage that we can lay our hands on. Some of us have dedicated ourselves to learning technological methods of engagement, which means we pride ourselves on our ability to programme, engineer and build our own software, while others of us have dedicated ourselves to learning how to work with people.
1/12/05 4.30-5.30pm Norwich Arts Centre, St. Benedict's Street, Norwich, NR2 4PG
