This month, we'll be meeting on no such auspicious an occasion although on that date in 1938 the Mallard set a World Speed Record for a steam locomotive (126mph), so an attempt may be made at re- enacting said occasion by hijacking a tram. Either that, or we'll sit around talking nonsense as we usually do... What? Who? ============================================================ The Manchester BSD User Group is a group of Unix enthusiasts, users, developers and systems administrators who meet once a month in a pub in central Manchester. It's a friendly/social event and we don't do talks or presentations. We chat about various technical things that matter to us, but mostly it's a chance for people to meet up and find out what's going on within the industry or in our mad/bad personal projects. In the past, conversations have covered a wide range of technical topics, so if you're interested in the kind of tech that you can pull apart and put back together again (even when you're not meant to), you'll find somebody interested nearby. Where? ============================================================ The Briton's Protection pub on Great Bridgewater Street, in central Manchester. We normally occupy a large-ish area in one of the rooms around the back, but now the evenings are getting lighter if it's warm and sunny we may head out to the beer garden (if it's open). The Briton's is a traditional English pub with real ale, quality lager, a range of soft drinks and an excellent selection of crisps. I believe they do food of a high quality, but don't know what time they stop serving. When? ============================================================ We always meet on the first Tuesday of each calendar month. The next meeting is on Tuesday the 5th June, and the meeting after is currently planned for the 3rd July. We normally drift in to the place around 7:30pm, and most people drift off sometime between 9pm and 10pm. Questions? ============================================================ Feel free to post queries to manchester@bsdgroups.org.uk or you can contact me directly. If you want directions to help find us, or need a mobile number in case you get lost, just get in touch.
