Does ALUG want to go for this? Can we do a new venue this year, or should we try UEA again? Where does May fall in the academic year? (Pretty good, IIRC)

After the success of last year's UK Linux Install Day, Dorset Linux User Group (http://dorset.lug.org.uk) have decided to hold another regional event in 2002.
As there seems to be no similar national effort so far this year, we would like to invite other LUGs to coordinate their Install Days with ours, to form a UK Linux Install Day 2002 on Sunday May 19th.
National coordination will allow us to raise the the profile of Install Day events and to promote Linux and Open Source software to Businesses and the public. We aim to achieve national press coverage and sponsorship (approaches have been made to O'Reilly and Mandrake).
To register your Install Day event, please mail me details (Venue, time, URL for details etc.) to marketing@linuxinstallday.org.
Details of events will be shown on the website:
http://www.linuxinstallday.org
This is our chance to build on last year's success and show the public one of Free Software's most valuable facets - it's great sense of community.
I'll also be contacting LUG lists directly, in case (as has happened in the past) LUGMasters aren't actually subscribed to this list! If you have any thoughts or questions, please don't hesitate to mail me at the address above, or the one in my sig below.
Regards,
John Robinson.
