It’s Season 11 Episode 99 of the Ubuntu Podcast! Mark Johnson is connected and speaking to your brain.

Back in November 2018 we conducted a poll on Twitter to see what kind of social event our listeners were interested in. Overwhelmingly (and perhaps unsurprisingly) you chose a Pub/Restaurant meet, so that’s what we’re doing.

It’ll be a relaxed social event with the presenters having a beer or fruit-based drink, and maybe some food to be decided later.

Do let us know if you’d like to come by marking yourself attending here.
