    Unfortunately I won't be able to make it because I've an exam the next day. Next month, perhaps? But I'm pretty willing to talk about security and custom distro building and all that.

    I think if we have more people in the group, we will have far more choices.

    Hi everyone, I feel that the agenda needs more activities with a time frame for each of them. Each activity should have some details I guess, so everyone can understand what is required. These are just suggestions, so it's really up to the organizer and the group. Cheers, Zak
