=3D=3D Details =3D=3D

The purpose of Manchester Free Software is to promote the Free Software
philosophy.

Every meeting we start with an opportunity for informal key signing.
For an explanation of what this is about see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party


=3D=3D=3D Talk =3D=3D=3D

The main part of the meeting will be a talk and demonstration with free
discussion.

In order for a program to be Free Software for a user, the user needs,
among other things, access to the source code.  This is a precondition
to the freedom to study how the program works and the freedom to change
the program.  These freedoms can be exercised either directly or
indirectly by the user.

But what is source code and how does this make a program?  This talk
(and demonstration) will explain the basics of programming including
what is source code.  The aim is to help people to have a greater
understanding of the Free Software freedoms and aid getting into Free
Software programming.

If you have experience of programming Free Software then please consider
giving a lightning talk at the meeting.


=3D=3D Event Planning =3D=3D

There are no remaining events for the year, apart from the monthly
meetings.


=3D=3D After-meeting =3D=3D

The meeting will be followed by informal discussion and socialising in
the Terrace (which is next door to Madlab).  There are non-alcoholic
drinks available and there is no pressure to consume alcohol.


=3D=3D Location =3D=3D

The meeting will take place at the usual venue of Madlab, details above.


=3D=3D Transport =3D=3D


=3D=3D=3D Parking =3D=3D=3D

Around the venue there are parking meter bays that become zero cost
after 8pm on Tuesday so you will have to pay up until then and the
maximum stay is 2 hours BUT MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY ALL THIS on parking.

There are paid parking lots around the venue, they are marked by a blue
P in this OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.4843/-2.2365>.  Most of those
parking lots are owned by NCP <http://www.ncp.co.uk/>.

If you can=E2=80=99t decide otherwise then park in Manchester Arndale
<https://www.manchesterarndale.com/visiting/directions>.


=3D=3D=3D Public Transport =3D=3D=3D

Manchester Victoria (MCV) train station, Shudehill tram and bus station,
and Manchester Piccadilly bus station are all fairly close to Madlab,
see OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.4843/-2.2365>.

Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) train station and Manchester Central Coach
