This month’s talk will be given by James Wallbank from Access Space Sheffield.
Access Space is the UK’s first free media lab: an open-access learning community, which combines Free, Open Source Software and locally recycled computers with the collective intelligence of a skill-sharing community. The lab is open five days a week for walk-in access and they host regular workshops and activities.
James will explain the Access Space project and the longer term objective of encouraging similar projects, with continued collaboration between them.
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 Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a little earlier downstairs. Just ask at the bar if you can’t find us. Their website has full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and drink available. The venue also provides free wifi.
General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be found on our meetings page.
If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please contact us.
The September administrative meeting will be on the FIRST Monday of the month this time, but still at the usual time and place:
* Date: Monday, 7th September
* Time: 19:00
* Location: The Waterhouse
The meeting is open to everyone and normally lasts about an hour. We stay around for a social meet up afterwards, so it’s a good opportunity to meet up with people and have a chat.
The agenda and the minutes of August’s meeting are available on the FSF Groups wiki. If you have any thing you’d like included please contact us.
