Just noticed this email in the 'held' list (which is why you'll have just got it now, but it's dated 6th, as I only just released it).

Why people email confirm-only mailing lists, get a pending message, then expect it'll "just work" I don't know" Especially since it'll be lost in the hundreds of spam emails that try to send to the same mailing list... it's like trying to send something useful in amongst a bunch of takeaway leaflets through a letterbox and hoping for the best :)

But yeah, probably a bit late now, unless anyone really fancies a trip to Scotland? :D

Hello,

This year's LinuxBierWanderung (Linux Beer Hike) is taking place in Blair Atholl, Scotland from Oct 4th until Oct 11th (apologies for the short notice).

LBW is a week-long event which takes place in a different European country each summer (sometimes autumn) drawing together Open Source software enthusiasts from more than a dozen different countries, for a combination of talks, presentations, hands-on mini-projects, outdoor exercise, and good food & drink. It is an entirely volunteer-run event, funded from a combination of donations amongst the attendees towards the cost of the hall and Internet access etc.

Visitors to each year's LBW arrange their own accommodation and travel to the event and there is no set fee for attendance. This enables students on a low budget to join in just as easily as Open Source consultants.

If you'd like to join in with this year's LBW, please register your details (link below), Discussions about the event (and any number of other arbitrary topics) take place on the mailing list, Signal, or IRC (links below).
