I’m a member of the UKUUG, and I just came back from their Spring Conference, which was held in Birmingham this year. It was a great conference! I met lots of other Unix/Linux people and learned a lot simply by chatting with people in the corridors! I will try my best to make it to the next one, which I think will be held sometime later this year.

In any case, I was asked by Alain (UKUUG Chairman) to write a few words about one of the tutorials that I attended on the first day of the conference. It will be published in the next UKUUG newsletter. I will make sure I post a copy of what I write here.
