I'll check when I am in work tonight when is the earliest time that I
can arrive in Cardiff from Neath when I see the rota in work. (Working
weekends and evenings really suits me since I am nocturnal, you know the
sort who is up 'til 4am compiling his GNOME desktop environment, yep
that's me.) If it is at all possible for me to be there when the first
start to arrive I'll help take charge otherwise I will find someone in
IRC tonight who can take over until the rest of us can get there! I'll
try and get some others to respond on here too so you can see how many
will be arriving at what time and the likely turnout, most of the users
either aren't on this mailing list or don't often respond unfortunately.

If you're not firewalled, you can utilise Pidgin to connect to IRC as
per our little guide on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/IRC .
It is a nice little handy protocol when you get acquainted with it and
use a specialised client such as XChat or irssi in place of Pidgin
(despite what I just said about Pidgin being able to connect).

There will be so many different kinds of Ubuntu t-shirts being worn
it'll be unbelievable (I'm only joking ;-) ). You're however bound to
see a few wearing some sort of Linuxy clothing, either hats (I wanted to
get an Ubuntu hat) or t-shirts but that isn't to say that's all that is
stocked in our wardrobes!

Ah that's very interesting, I've never came across a surname similar to
yours before hence why I asked. I am one of those people who gets
interested by far too much and heritage is one of those things.


I hope this has helped,
Christopher Swift.
