[Sheflug] 2013 Linux Bier Wanderung - Castleton

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

LBW.  I first wrote about it back in the year 2000 for Linux User and 
Developer Magazine..  This year, the event returns to the UK and will 
be held in the village of Castleton, in the Peak District.

Linux Beer Hike 2013 in Castleton
*********************************

Hacking, learning, talking, walking and dining - The Linux Bier 
Wanderung (Linux Beer Hike) is all this and much more.  Each summer 
around 50 Linux enthusiasts meet up for a weeks holiday.  This year 
the 15th annual event takes the penguin-friends to England, 
specifically to the picturesque village of Castleton in the Peak 
District.

LBWers put their hiking boots on for the first time in 1999 in 
Pottenstein in Germany. After a great week, it was clear: We'll meet 
again next year! In the following years the wanderers traveled to 
countries including Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, Lithuania, Greece, 
Switzerland, and Austria. 2013 is the third time the event takes place 
in England.

There is much to discover: The Peak District offers many great hikes in
and around the village itself and the delights of Speedwell Cavern, 
and the many other caves in the area. Castleton also has a lot to offer 
in terms of food and drink: many delicious beers and hearty cuisine 
will fortify the participants and keep them all happy.  Talks about 
Linux and Free and Open Source Software complete the programme.

It is now possible to register to join in with the event [2].  Over 
the next few weeks the organisers and participants will arrange 
various hikes and excursions, and participants can also register for 
workshops and talks.  Questions on anything to do with the LBW will be 
happily answered by the Linux beer hikers on their mailing list [3] or 
on IRC (channel #lbw at irc.oftc.net).
