Saturday just gone, being the fourth one in the month, saw the Bristol & Bath Linux User Group (BBLUG) gather for its regular monthly meeting at the Knights Templar near Temple Meads to drink beer, talk and endure what the J. D. Wetherspoon regards as food (tip: stick to a burger for the sake of safety).
This month’s meeting was unusually well attended: over 20 humans and 1 dog (Bails’ Chloe, sadly left outside) and two fluffy Tux-type penguins. The Bristol Wireless crew put in a good appearance again (Bails, Rich, BenG and myself), whilst members from further flung reaches (Chippenham, Weston-super-Mare) also swelled the numbers. Good to see some new faces too among the usual suspects, including at least one who, from looking at the BBLUG home page, thought it was moribund, then checked the mailing list archive and found we were very much alive 
Peter (on the left in the picture) gave an impromptu Gimp tutorial having struggled through a Linux Format project during the week with the help of the mailing list.
Anyway, next month’s meeting coincides with OpenStreetMap.org’s open mapping weekend in Bristol; any takers out there, please visit the wiki page.
