Chris,
The post is fine, I was just curious :)
I'm aware that you asked in IRC before posting anyway.
I too am a student at Stafford, and yes there is a lot of Microsoft
happening there. Students get free software from MSDN which is kinda
cool, but apart from that... it is annoying the emphasis that is put
on Windows.

Adam, Andrew, Tom,
Sorry for the spam-esk mail, I know it's not wonderful and I did doubts of
doing it, however I know that LUG's know how difficult it is to get the word
out there some times..
Why just Joomla? Simply because we are all Joomla! users! We're a mix of
end users, template makers and extension developers all working on the
Joomla! framework, including Chris Davenport who's in charge of
documentation for the Joomla! project.
I also targeted the Staffs LUG as I used to be in Stafford at Uni, and I
remember how much money Microsoft was pumping into the uni after 2000. It
would be great if we could get through to the students there now that there
are alternitive platforms to be working on other than the .net framework (I
studied Internet Technology and the big push was towards a Microsoft
development stack, a royal pain when I wanted to develop in PHP and didn't
want to have to install XP on my machine, but what can you do... )
Thanks,
Chris -.
