Thanks to Richard's initial contact with RMS, and together with some
colleagues at the IET, BCS and some other organisations I've been able to
put together a tour of several UK and European cities. Hope you can catch at

Preston.

You might have heard about the government review of copyright, patents etc
(Independent Review of IP and Growth) already. If not, here are some useful
