Yep, saw it on the events page :)

Currently I'm not 100% sure what'll be there, but it should be something like 
what was at the Epsom show last year.  I plan to be along with my RiscPC, and 
i386 (as it has the CD burner in).  Probably be burning CD's of the then 
latest stable release (potentially 1.5.1) along with a bunch of packages for 
arm32.  I might even attempt to get the then current onto the CD aswell as 
it's got better performance in some areas, the new bootloader etc etc.  For 
once though I've more time to plan.  I just need to get the cycles in to 
download/build things.

Also other people have volunteered to bring along an arm26 box, and possibly 
an Ipaq, however nothing is definite on that front yet.

There's also rumours of some funky new hardware at the show (with a a risc-os 
bias though)

I may even be giving a talk in the theatre on NetBSD (not confirmed that/been 
approached)

However it is way way off so it could all change, so perhaps best to be 
vague, saying something like, this is more an Arm biased show, Cd's of the 
then stable tree will be on sale with some pre-built packages. :)

Thanks,
