We were trying to get a certain speaker, and topic, for tonight's talk
but it didn't work out. So we have put this talk on as an alternative at
the last minute. I wanted to do this talk with plenty of notice and
advertising but it hasn't happened. On the plus side we are doing a
workshop tomorrow at MDDA on bug reporting, following on from this talk.
It would be great to have you there.
