Subject: [Hampshire] Linux using software company in Romsey
Hi

I was oping to introduce myself and our company to the Hampshire Linux
User group. I became aware of this group through Amanda Golding when I
did some work with her at Jamie's Computer club

Amanda is now working with us - us being Switch Concepts -
www.switchconcepts.co.uk. I am the Managing Director of Switch and
we've been running now 3 years.

So, we are a completely linux based software company that specialises in
building bespoke adserving software.

We would be interested to engage with hantslug on lots of levels. For
example...

- take part in the general discussions and contribute where we can to
the community.
- contribute anything we can to help - for example we have office
space that could be used for meetings and could host a free forum for
the group if interested (www.myfreeforum.org is one of our tech's other
businesses)
- seek consultancy from any of the members who might be able to bring
expertise to our company that need - for example, right now we could use
people who expert in building racks of servers. We also are on the look
out for database/sql storage and query experts...

And generally, as I say, we are a linux based organisation with a strong
sense of value in the open source movement and all agreed that we'd like
to support your group.

I hope this is of interest and look forward to speaking/meeting you guys!

Tom
