Matt talked about doing a talk on coding and were to start. Which raised a lot of intrest.
We also may be taking a visit to access space sheffield were they have open source discusions and projects. www.access-space.org

We may be holding some of our talks at the basement single step penny st. They have a projector and is ideal for giving demonstrations.
