[Fsfe-uk] Trying to confirm if Brum expo really is dead.

[Martyn Ranyard]

Currently, I have been told three times that everyone at Sky Events is in a 
meeting, and could I phone back in an hour, so, I may have something at 
4:15, if not, maybe 5:15, else tomorrow.  I'd just like to speak to a real 
person before writing this event off, or at least something more obvious 
than someone (probably french, possibly misunderstanding the intricacies of 
the english language) typing in cancelled in very small text.

  Having seen the post on affs regarding it (the expo) I registered this 
morning and got a confirmation email back - this is a contrary indicator in 
my mind.  I have tried to contact both of the numbers on the email - one is 
the same contact no (europe) as on linuxexpobirmingham, which gives unknown 
number!, the other connected me to a canadian company who seem to have no 
knowledge of themselves doing anything in the UK/Europe.  So, I will 
continue to contact the one that I got from linux-expo.com and try and 
catch someone between meetings.

Well, let's see!
