Linux Seminar Sheffield UK - 2nd March 2005

From

Hi

Don't know if this is the right place to send this but it seems
likely that it is.

In March we will hold our annual Linux seminar in Sheffield.  This is
aimed at local business teams with a view to getting local people and
businesses to understand something about open source software and
what they can or can't do with it.  People come from all over the
country to join in.  Very popular event.

People who are presenting at this year's seminar are .. Hans Kind,
presented "Locking down your Apache Web Server with mod_security" at
Apachecon 2004.  Ruediger Berlich will present the business aspects
of Grid Computing..

 http://www.ep1.rub.de/~ruediger/start.htm

Jacek Artymiak will present what to do with Soekris hardware and how
to install OpenBSD into it..

http://www.devguide.net/books/openbsdfw-02-ed/index.html

There are some others but this gives a flavour of what the seminar is
about.  A PHP presentation is in the works just now. Plan is to do a
Lamp presentation and some network security.

What we would like to find is someone who can do a Postgresql
presentation for us.  There was a Postgres stand at the UK Linux Expo
in London in October 2004. We'll consider flying in someone from
outside of the UK but a UK based presenter would be preferred.

Please send e-mail to myself if you would like to have a go at this.  
We can provide you with expenses and a hotel and possibly even some
nice food in a good restaurant.

Kind regards

Yes, this is the right place.  Most of the guys at the UK Linux Expo are
on this list and should be available.  I will be in Denmark March 4 so
if you need me I could probably do it.

That might be worth considering.  We've already got Hans coming over
from Holland and so getting the budget from the sponsors for a flight
from Denmark shouldn't be too hard.

I'll pencil you in for it.  The sponsors are...

http://www.iee.org/OnComms/Branches/UK/England/NorthE/SYorks/about.cfm
http://www.digitalsy.org.uk/html/SIGs/floss/index.html

and the proposed venue which we think has Wi-Fi built in for the
guests - such as yourself -  for e-mail and web pages is...

http://www.holidayinn-sheffield.co.uk/

if the venue goes up the chute before the 2nd of March - which it
shouldn't - we can easily find somewhere similar :)

I'll get in touch with the sponsors now and tell them that you are
interested.

Kind regards

Seems if there is someone local who can do it that would be best.  I
only suggested myself in case you couldn't find someone.

Also, I would be flying from Philadelphia to Denmark and back to
Philadelphia so it is more like adding the UK in that itinerary than
flying round-trip from Denmark.

Okay :)  I'll consider anyone who wants to have a go at this one.

Yes.  We can probably fit this in if you have the time.  Waiting for a
reaction from the sponsors.  Flights and a hotels and restaurants
aren't too much of a problem to sort out.
