They have also invited us to apply for funding from their Social Economy Business Development Fund. There are a […]
On December 4th the Bristol Wireless Redrak server will have been up continuously for one year with no downtime at all. Instead of a real-world meeting this December then, some of us thought it would be a good idea to have a party to celebrate, it being traditional at this time of the year. Assuming […]
