[ubuntu-uk] MANLUG (Was: Re: Bug Day)

[James Milligan]

Tony - I was just loading that site up as that email came through! Actually,
just to check, is it manlug.org.uk or .org? I think I know a couple of
people for the presentations, but I'd have to check with them first.

Are you aware of the MANLUG meetings? Check out www.manlug.org for details.

We seem to be short of speakers recently so if you know anyone who could
