I'll catch up with you then, if we can Dean.
Yo Dean, we met when I spent six months with BT in 05/06 at your place. Bought few shares afterwords, but TalkTalk killed the value before the takeover. Did not know about the event. Only heard now from ImranA. Good to see you guys been proactive. I blog at http://www.manojranaweera.com - will write a post later. Drop in at my gig on 14/06 if you can - yet to publish

We have now managed to get sponsorship to pay for hotel rooms in sheffield on a first come first served basis - limited to 30 single rooms.
Also trying to get a stopover organised in the premises themselves. Will know more later this week.
Get the word out on the blogosphere - I would love to get 50 people turning up and having a real good demo session on what people are working on etc..
thanks
Dean
