Re: ILoveFS Day 2026 event - Tuesday 10th February! - TOMORROW !!!
by Steven Maddox
Quick reminder about ILoveFS Day which is taking place tomorrow at the
KPA (details below on the previous email).
The usual laptops have been found (really happy to see Trisquel 11 is
still current... only means I need to do minor updates!)
... as have the balloons (and helium!), all the free stickers, the usual
budget for free food and drinks.... and importantly THE QUIZ (and some
prizes for 1st / 2nd place too).
Spare a thought for your favourite maintainer!
Hope to see you there :)
