                 Hangar 18 - Open Source Distributed Technology


A global informal co-operative of amateur and professional computer and
technology users focused on using Open Source technology for our problem
solutions. In particular we use Linux, Plan 9, & Inferno as a base for our
projects. The work is based arond a general 'tit-for-tat' approach to
sharing of resources. Please visit our homepage for more information about
what we're up to!

The conference room will comfortably hold 6-8 people, please call if you've
