Vince,

    I guess you could say that the meeting has been initiated by Alan O'Donohue the Raspberry Jam figure head. there are a number of like minded people that registered an interest including Trevor.

    From my own perspective I would love to see people from Education, RISCOS, Linux, hardware, software, peripherals, and also companies / organisations with a general interest in computing attending.

    There is no fixed agenda, I am hoping it would be a great place for people to share ideas and network to continue in some form or another?

    The Bristol & Bath Science park have generously offered to let the Jam take place free of charge as they would like to be associated with events of this type, I visited the venue this week and have to say the facilities are ultra modern and state of the art.

    If you have contact details of the guy that demoed the latest RISCOS and you would like them there, you could invite him along, Alan Trevor or myself are the people you should contact about this for more information. I am really excited about having this event in Bristol and am hopeful for a large turnout.

Nigel Brown
