Hello Schnupsis,
* Orla and I won’t be able to join dinner on Friday obviously, but maybe I can convince Tom to. Don’t think he’d mind where to go.
* We will investigate about the bbq on Saturday! Might not fit in our car though grrrr
* are Andy and I the only Vegetarians? If so maybe we can organise some Vegetarian alternatives between us. I’d also like to make a potato salad if that’s ok. :)
* I’ll be honest, don’t know what GPG key signing is hehe, so that’s probably a no
* Tom’s answer to this is “when would I have time to write a lightning talk”. Yeah I’m afraid we’ll be lucky if we manage to listen to everyone else’s. All depending on Orli :)
* computers don’t smell as nice as halloumi.
Phine (and also Tom and Orla)

I selfishly like The Mains of Scotstown[1] near me but maybe going into town is better for some of y'all?

I have a BBQ at Tom's parents' house, I wonder if it's rusty or ok - does anyone have an advance on that? I'd rather we don't buy something for the event or use one of those wee disposables.

I like the idea of going to the tilly butcher[2] nearby and buying stuff as a group with hacklab money instead of everyone bringing along 2 sausages.

All glory to the keysigning party [3]

I can probably pull something together, keeping it short is the hardest part.

They consistently drain my brain and talking to people is better
