People interested in helping with the local Linux Day event can use the ["SCLUGLinuxDay2004"] page. == Event organisation ==

SCLUG meets every month at a pub in Reading, but we do run occasional non-pub events like install fests and general bring-a-box days.

=== Next bring-a-box day ===

The next one of these is tentatively scheduled for '''Saturday 16th September 2006''', to coincide with the [http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ Software Freedom Day] and the [http://www.remixreading.org/ Remix Reading] open media lab at the Rising Sun Arts Centre in Reading. See ["SCLUGSoftwareFreedomDay2006"].

=== Technical talks ===

We'd also like to run some technical talks and practical sessions. We're looking for volunteers to do this, and below is a list of who has volunteered so far. If you have something you think you could talk about something Linux-related for, say, half an hour, then please make a note of it here and post some details to the mailing list. In the meantime, here are some suggestions from the mailing list:

Volunteers :

 * Windows -> Linux Java Porting
 * Platform independent Java
