The next talk is titled "Typesetting with Free Software Tools" and
will be given by Tethys.
After being introduced to the wonders of Unix at university,
Tethys was hooked. With the release of Linux a few years later,
he was able to use Unix at home as well, and has never looked
back. He has interests in digital typography, large system
design, and playing with LARTC. His career has alternated
between coding and sysadmin for various companies in various
industries. One of those was in the pre-press department of
a large newspaper group, where an interest in typesetting
became a profession for a while. He is currently at the
coding end of the spectrum, writing software for a small
company using statistical analysis to predict future trends.
We are returning to our previous venue at the University of
Westminster, in the Large Lecture Theatre. If people could arrive for
1900, ready for the talk to begin at 1930. At the end of the talk we
usually visit the pub for a few drinks, general chat and socialising.
Sean has a sign-in sheet organised on the day for people to sign so he
can get an idea of attendance.

The next talk is titled "Wire Shark and the basics of network traffic monitoring." and will be given by Nahual Marisi and John Sharp.
We have a slight change of venue, we will still be meeting at the University of Westminster (Cavendish Campus), but in Room C1.04. If people could arrive for 1900, ready for the talk to begin at 1930. I will try and get some signs made up to direct people to room C1.04 Hopefully there will be a trip to a local pub for social and technical chit-chat.
I feel the "I'm going" email's were unpopular and Sean had a sign-in sheet organised on the day anyway. So I think we should stick people just turning up and signing in. (ie you don't have to email the list or me explicitly stating you are going, unless you really really want us to know.)
