[Sam Tuke]

The November Manchester FSFE Fellowship meeting will take *this evening*
at 19.00 in MadLab:

Following on from Tuesday's lively discussion at MFS about Diaspora (a popular 
Free Software alternative to Facebook) we shall share ideas about how to move 
forward with providing Manchester with its own community hosting, making use 
of ArcSpace community centre's facilities.

- What services should we offer?
- How many users should we aim to sign-up?
- Who will do the technical set-up and maintenance?
- How much should we charge?

These and many other questions will be raised. Please come along and share 
your thoughts, even if you're not sure about being involved with the project.

Recommended reading: an interview with the president of Fripost - a community 
hosting cooperative in Gothenburg, started one year ago and now with 60 
members:

See you there!

Sam.
