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

=3D=3D=3D Introduction =3D=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 this you'll need to bring paper OpenPGP fingerprint slips, see
`gpg-key2ps` from the `signing-party` package:
https://packages.debian.org/signing-party


=3D=3D=3D Topic details =3D=3D=3D

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

Following on from Software Freedom Day 2018 in Manchester on the
Saturday, where people will learn about Software Freedom, this event is
to help people install it.  The aim is to help those wanting to install
a Free Software Operating System (OS) and then Free Software in general.

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

The meeting will take place at the usual PLANT NOMA, 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 PLANT NOMA
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.48668/-2.23934>.  Most of
those parking lots are owned by NCP <http://www.ncp.co.uk/>.

If you can't 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 PLANT
NOMA, see OpenStreetMap centred on PLANT NOMA
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.48668/-2.23934>.

Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) train station and Manchester Central Coach
Station are not too far away either.
