Festive Food Fight 2011
Dec. 16th, 7:30pm.
We’re going for the same idea as last year. 2 meals to choose from at separate places. Then all meet up afterwards at the Corndolly pub.
Your choice is the Sir Titus Salt (Wetherspoons) or Omar Khans.
Please fill in the doodle to help us get something booked:

See you there.

September 28th 2011 – 3rd Birthday Meeting
Doesn’t time fly? BradLUG (BradGNU/LUG?) is now 3 years old. It’s one of those “queen’s birthday” things as September has been chosen as the official marker of the years.
John has produced this graphic to try to illustrate the different things that have happened in that time. You can download a higher pdf version if you’d like to give a closer inspection.
As for September’s meeting. We’re just discussing that. As ever, your biggest conundrum is to work out whether or no the talk of cake is a lie!

September 29th 2010 – Our 2nd Birthday!
It seems that, like certain members of British royalty, we have 2 birthdays, and it was agreed that our ‘official’ celebrations would take place in September! There are rumours of a birthday cake. It is not yet confirmed whether the cake is a lie.
The topic for the meeting this month is, erm, the meetings:
- What do members like?
- What don’t we like?
- Would members like to have more meetings?
- Or perhaps tutorials/workshop sessions?

August 25th: HTML5
The Hype and Some Alternative Realities – Dave Fisher
What’s Actually New in HTML and What Isn’t in it at all
Unsurprisingly, they often got the wrong end of the stick; misled by corporate PR hyping browser and platform capabilities with only indirect relationships to HTML5.
As a consequence, both end-users and coders may be forgiven for conflating clever graphical tricks in CSS3 and JavaScript with HTML5. As may the multimedia professionals who mistakenly believe that HTML5 is some kind of H.264-based Flash-killer.
This talk attempts to clarify what HTML5 actually aims to do, what browsers can currently do with it, and what a wider range of software could potentially do with it.
The talk will identify the evolutionary and revolutionary differences between HTML5 and the current standards for HTML and XHTML. In so doing, it should enable both web developers and open source advocates to get a better grasp of the decisions and conflicts that lie before them.

July Meeting this week!
Hey folks,
This month we don’t have any formal speakers lined up so if you have something you would like to share or show the group great! Bring it along for a show and tell. I think a few of us have a couple of little things to share which might be of interest to some of you but if someone would like to give a short talk too great. Also lets not forget our Top Ten open/free applications [...]
