Maybe they should try to make some deals with the schools in the area, so a group of interested teenagers could go with a teacher during the day and maybe get some kind of discount.

Re: Problem installing XDE in Ubuntu 10.04

Re: Project ABE - XMOS Challenge User Video

That's a pretty impressive project, and it's fun to see that there's been so much progress. Makes me wish I could build an UUV (or what they're called :)) but I have too many projects already :P

It's pretty easy to miss, but there's a link called Latest Groups at the bottom of the page, if you don't want to wait for a direct link :) Think you can also join groups from your own profile but I suppose groups could be easier to find.
