London Linux Drinks: July, "We got a hot π for you...?" Edition

July we meet on 22/7 - π for most practical purposes. Last month there were Met Office Red warnings for excessive heat. Will this month be the same? Come find some shade in an air-conditioned pub, meet like-minded people with a common interest in Linux at the July Linux London Meetup. Whether you are a complete neophyte or Linux warrior with decades of experience, come join the chat about distros, networks, open-source software, personal projects, ... or completely unrelated topics.

The London Linux Drinks meetups are informal, free to attend, and welcomes new attendees. By all means encourage others to come with you.

The venue is the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE). https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet

Chris and Gulraj will be sharing hosting duties with at least one of us present at each meetup. Whilst we realise that this venue is not as convenient for some people as our central London former haunts, the pub is only 2 minutes walk from the station, and Wimbledon is exceptionally well connected (only 17 minutes out of London Waterloo mainline, lies on the Sutton branch of the Thameslink, and is a terminus of both the District Line and the Croydon Tramlink).

The pub is on the flat, at street level, including the toilets, although the space reserved for us (presently, at least) is a raised mezzanine area up a small number of steps at the back of the pub. We aim to be inclusive, so if this presents an issue, we'll work with the pub to adjust the arrangements in the future.

Sign-ups are open. Please come join us.

Directions from the station:

Exit the station through the main concourse (near the District Line platforms), turn right along the main road, passing the taxi rank on Orinoco Lane. Cross Alexandra Road at the traffic lights, pass the gym on the corner, then continue past the chemist to reach the pub.
