Aussie Meet-Ups!
If anyone has seen the h2g2 t-shirts that were no doubt being sent to Australia by the italics for the Sydney meet up on Sept 15 please contact Linus immediately as they do not seem to have arrived yet.
Those wishing to attend that need either detailed instructions on how to get to the Carlisle Castle Hotel in Newtown or how to find Linus once inside said hotel should either leave a message on his homepage or send an email to the address shown at the bottom of the page.

Plans are underway for a repeat of the succesful Dutch Meet. The date has been arranged for the weekend of the 26th to 28th of October to give attendees plenty of advance warning and time to enjoy the hospitality when they arrive! Thirteen have already signed up with one possible.Danish Meet-up

New Sites of Interest
- The h2g2 Politics Forum is an attempt at building an international, inclusive (hopefully it will attract both left and right wing viewpoints, libertarian and authoritarian, etc.) place for people to publish articles and talk about a broad range of political topics (anything from, for example, the influence of utilitarianism on early 19th century anarchist thought, to who should be the new leader of the Tory party).
- An expectant couple on h2g2 are stuck for names for their coming bundle of joy. Please help out by telling of your favourite names and what they mean at the Names and their meanings page specially set up for this purpose.
- The Website Developer's Forum is for discussing, comparing and general chat about creating and developing websites. Feel free to join right in with any questions or topics you'd like to put forward.
- MaW wishes it to be known that Researchers who are also University students or University graduates may visit the University Nexus, where they can find Researchers who attend/attended the same University as them, or any other University they happen to be interested it. The page is new and very small, but it can become a large and useful resource if anybody's interested. Also, those who don't like the name are encouraged to suggest alternatives !
- Please read the Give Blood on My Behalf article in this edition to learn how to participate in this worthwhile scheme.
