[Fsf-friends] Visitor from the UK: Open Advantage, Univ of Central England, FLOSS

[Frederick Noronha (FN)]

We're expecting a guest for this month's ILUG-Goa meeting, scheduled for
Saturday April 26, 2005 between 3-5 pm at the Goa Science Centre, Miramar, in 
Goa.

Greg Wild <Agregwild at aol.com> is visiting India from mid-April and says he's 
"trying to make contacts with Linux users in India". He has lived most of his 
life in the U.S but have been resident in the UK for the last six months.

Says he: "I am a member of the South Birmingham and Wolverhampton Linux User
Groups in the UK. and have been involved with Open Advantage, a unit of the
University of Central England specialising in promoting open source software
in the UK and Europe. Prior to arriving in England, I was a member of the
Cincinnati LUG in Ohio. I would consider it an honour if you could arrange
for me to make contact and I would be very interested in the kind of work
taking place in India."

Greg accepted our invite for the meeting at the Goa Science Centre, Miramar.
He says: "Looking forward to being there and hope to have ready a
comprehensive report on the Open Source situation in Birmingham U.K."

He will be arriving in Goa on March 18, 2005 and is keen to know whether
universities here use GNU/Linux. Greg also looks forward to build contacts
with GNU/Linux users and projects. "I would be grateful for any ideas," he
says. FN
