Ok good, just checking that what I have so far is useful.

No problem, I just thought that something to work with from the start
might help, I wont be there right at the start I dont think, but around
7PM onwards (12PM GMT) for a few hours.

FYI, I am doing this to gain more knowledge and experience in things that
I do not know, and because Forrest is a great idea. I aim to use it on my
sites in the future. Apart from that I do not use it in a work environment
and have no specific requirements of it. In other words, I am here for the
fun of it :)

Wow, that sounds really arrogant.

Of course I meant to say "and I still learn more in Open Source than in 
any other part of my working life" ;-)

We will probably miss one another then, unfortunately this is one of the 
few days I am not in control of my own schedule. We'll meet properly 
next Forrest Tuesday.

I know what you mean. I sed to be a lecturer in Tertiary education, I 
always told my students that I have learnt far more in Open Source 
communities than I ever learnt in formal education or employment.

I think that is the prime motivator for the majority of us, even those 
who use Forrest at work.
