A month too late to join you all at the BBQ it looks like I'm going to
be in the Cambridge area; probably between the 28th September and 2nd
October. It would be good to meet up with people for beer or whatever -
perhaps on the evening of the 28th?

Suggestions of suitable places to be able to hang out and hack (power,
coffee and wifi) would be nice. And if anyone's up for being able to
offer some crash space for part of it I'd be very grateful. :)

J.

CB2 for power, coffee and wifi (though, the wifi is a tad flaky!), or The
Haymakers (which, erm, has the same, and the advantage of being a Milton
owned pub...).

(But I'm still new to Cambs, so that's just the 2 places that I know
through my shiny new employers).

Subject: [Debian-uk] open-source accounting in the UK?
Message-ID: <524555F4.908@pocock.com.au>


Hi,

I'm just wondering if anybody else is using any of the open source
accounting solutions (e.g. PostBooks, GnuCash) in the UK and in
particular, for preparing UK VAT reports?

Also, has anybody had any positive (or negative?) experiences with
accountants/book-keepers who have worked with data managed in one of
these open-source solutions, e.g. when you give them access to the
system for end-of-year accounts/tax return completion?

Regards,

Daniel
