The two are, for the most part, mutually exclusive. My idea is for the meeting to run 6pm -> 8pm in two separate rooms in Southampton St. Because of constraints on Simon's time, this meeting must be held on September 13th - this is also suitable for Mark. We have two excellent and high-profile speakers, so it would be good to get some munchies in, if we have the funds and people think its worthwhile.>Paul>>>original: http://ossg.bcs.org/organisation/discussion/committee/685824829386/371278042648>_____________________________>"Committee Forum" http://ossg.bcs.org/organisation/discussion/committee>"BCS Open Source Specialist Group" http://ossg.bcs.org>>>
