Fair enough. I want to meet others in the London linux community, I'd like
to have a laugh at proprietary solutions costing thousands more and being
far less effective than their open source cousins, time off work for a piss
up -- er, career advancement -- and to pick up in one afternoon where the
commercial community thinks it's heading with linux rather than, say, read
press release after press release. All of which I can do at the expo
regardless of what the organisers want.
