[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu UK Science Museum Visit - WiFi Available!

[Joe O'Dell]

Hey Jon,

It;s been floating around the mailing list ever since Isabell (aka issyl0) thought and started planning it, which must be a month or two back.
It's also at fossevents.org, and plastered on some of the Ubuntu-UK members' blogs too.

There is some info on the wiki at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ScienceMuseumVisit
If you can come, do add yourself to the wiki!

Thanks
