Hi All,
Apologies for the long silence. Although no longer living in Berkshipre,
I do have a little more time on my hands these days and am hoping that we
can start a revival of this list at least?
Website and meetings would be a good follow up.
In the mean time, I'll start passing through the group level spam:
* UKUUG talks on Request Tracker
* Discount on UKUUG Summer Conf. in Birmingham
Hope you're all well.
Cheers,
Raf
