What Is This?

This is my aim to produce an EventBox for the UK, as it was decided that an EventBox for the EU was unfeasible (due mainly to postage costs and customs restrictions).

This is being organised in collaboration with Paul Mellors.

If you want to see more details about an EventBox, have a look at the main page here

Suggestions? Add them here

We now use a BaseCamp project management system. Go to ukeventbox.basecamphq.com.
You'll need an account to access our BaseCamp system - Please email Joe (ascenseur) at ascenseur@fedoraproject.org if you would like one :)
