She hasn't been able to secure a suitable venue that has both nice indoor and outdoor spaces, so we've decided to have the January RRFM back at the original venue, but she will be trying to organise a tent. The date is the last Sun in Jan - the 31st. They are planning some discussion/interaction/workshop stuff around the theme of the gift economy, which will happen in the tent. They've also invited us to contribute and participate, of course. She would like one (or more) of us to give an informal talk about the RRFM - why we're doing it, what the motivation is etc. Any volunteers for that?
