I've not seen any other posts about this, so I'm wondering if it is still going ahead ?

It is, as far as I know. I've been busy, but think I'll be there. Anyone wanting a left lift from Lynn, Downham, Thetford Diss or similar and back, drop me an email.

Thanks for the confirmation. It's a fair trip from Colchester, so I don't want to do it and find I've wasted my time !

If anyone want's a lift from this part of Essex, let me know.

Peter

Anyone going from Norwich and prepared to offer a lift?

I will be going Aylsham > Norwich > A140 so can give you a lift (and i know where you live ;)) and I will have space for 1 more person if someone wants it.

Also, I should have a CD burner - and blank CD-Rs - with me so if anyone has any intereresting FOSS s/w to share, bring it along e.g. recent versions of mandrake 10 or knoppix, Gentoo, Fedora etc. I think there is a version of Knoppix with kernel 2.6 and KDE 3.2 - does anyone have this?

Oh yeah, I also have 4 copies of LinuxUser & Developer magazine with coverdiscs including "Sun Java Desktop" to give away (courtesy of LinuxUser & Developer magazine) I will try and remember to bring them this time, instead of forgetting them like I did at the forum.

Thanks Adam

Only the two of you or anyone else? Sorry I didn't make it after all. TBH the weather did not look too promising for driving through those tiny lanes. I had already had problems on some of the back roads on saturday.

Wimp! :-)

I live down down one of "those tiny lanes" and rode my motorbike to work this morning. I have to admit I did wonder if I was being stupid but I made it without any disasters.

FWIW Syleham is just a bit far for me, I live about as far from Syleham as is possible while still being in Suffolk. I know Syleham quite well though, we used to own a cottage ay Hoxne on the B1118 (is it still that?) just before the road to Syleham turns off.

Yep! Guilty as charged and still alive to prove it :-)

Well, frankly, on the way there (Aylsham -> Norwich -> A140 -> B1118 -> Syleham at about 2pm) the roads were dry and clear, no snow, the weather was fine, the conditions were excellent etc etc. There was a *light* dusting of snow while we were there, which made very little difference in the handling of the car on the way back at around 5.45pm, and once we were back on the A140, the road was merely wet as if from rain. Not a problem :)

It had crossed my mind that the meeting might be a bit of a washout - not because of the weather but because of peoples' fears about the weather.

Great, good, wonderful, glad to hear it. As I said, I nearly got stuck on saturday with a car full of kids near Hempnall/Saxlingham. I decided to stay at home.

Now, instead of winges about the lack of moral fibre from people like myself, how about some info of who *did* attend since it seems that there were more than the two people indicated in the original message :-)

Myself (BJ), John (with homemade biscuits, thanks) MJR, Adam, Kirty, Brett, Peter Onion (with very interesting emulator of a very old mainframe... something begining with E 800 which had very cool graphics and noises).

I can do a showing of Revolution OS at any Syleham meeting for those who haven't seen it or who want to see it again.

cheers, BJ

Elliott 803. Here is a picture of the machine I used to use when I was at school. http://www.g6lvb.com/803.htm
