Couple of places. It's been announced on a few lists, Alan Cox has a notice
on the Linux.org uk site. Seems pretty real :(

Yep. The Expo would have been good though. It seems they want to reschedule
rather than cancel altogether, but if they've cancelled it this late they
must be willing to lose a lot of money on it (I can't believe they'll be
getting much back), so it must be serious :( 

I can't, off the top of my head, think of any major UK Linux conference
(ie., an Expo, or a UKUUG meet, etc.) this year now - and we do seem to be
scattered across the country somewhat (I'm in London, your e-mail indicates
you're probably Brummie (! kidding ;), etc..) so people will have to make a
special effort. Shame, also, because Birmingham's good for me :(. If people
can make a LUG, we could do that, or hold a special GNU geek meet or
something. What do others think?

Cheers,

Alex.
