Subject: Reminder: Manchester Free Software Talk - Steven Flower,
Plings (Places to Go, Things to Do)
To: Manchester Free Software <address@hidden>


Manchester Free software's next meeting will be THIS Tuesday, the 19th May 2009.

*Please note the change of venue*

Talk
------
Substance, a local cooperative, are working to free local government
and other data so that the information can get to the people who
really need it. The project is called Plings [1] and Steven Flower
will be talking about about their experiences over the past two years
and their plans for the next two years. Free software and freedom of
data are the goals - but they have to jump through and negotiate a few
hoops along the way!

Location
----------
The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O'
Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located
in the back room on the ground floor. As normal, there will be people
around a little earlier (probably sampling the food and drinks on
offer). Their website[2] has full details of how to get there and the
fine selection of food and drink on offer.

General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be
found on our website[3].

If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please
contact us at <address@hidden>.
