Simon and I had a conversation with Gerry Scappaticci from MDDA after 
John Leech's talk.

Gerry was able to confirm the position of the MDDA in relation being 
able to provide space and resources to us in the future.

Gerry confirmed that we would be able to use the MDDA as a venue for an 
indefinite amount of time after May.

While we were not given a great deal of explanation, it would seem that 
the MDDA has switched from one funding source supporting groups like 
ours to a different one.

The other thing Gerry mentioned was dates for future meetings.

The MDDA would really like to have the dates of future Manchester Free 
Software meetings well in advance. I suggested this was not likely to 
cause problems however could we agree that Manchester Free Software 
meetings should take place on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (the next 
one already having been arranged for May 20th).

It would be helpful to get back to the MDDA pretty soon and arrange the 
dates for upcoming meetings so they don't get double booked and we don't 
get left without a room.

Cheers


Tim
