[Fsuk-manchester] Manchester Free Software talk: Free Space Manchester, Mick Fuzz

[Lucy]

Next Meeting
------------
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 19th August, 2008.

Are you interested in finding out how free software is really making a
difference to people in Manchester? Well, Mick Fuzz from the Zion Arts
Centre [1], will be talking about the Free Space Manchester project
[2], which is providing young people in Hulme with free (in both
senses of the word!) access to GNU/Linux computers.

Free Space Manchester is a new project, which has used LTSP [3] to
give new life to a cluster of old PCs, in an on going initiative to
provide disadvantaged young people with computing and internet access.
The group's future aims include setting up an audio and video editing
suite using free software.
