Group:Manchester/Speakers

An important aspect of free software advocacy is dissemination of information about free software. One way in which we do that is to arrange for people to speak about topics relating to free software. This page provides a summary of people who have spoken at Manchester Free Software, those who will be speaking, and those we would like to get to speak.
