Les Pounder and Claire Wicher have just announced the 2017 Raspberry Jamboree, which takes place on Saturday, 27th May in Manchester from 9am to 5pm. This is an unconference-style event which will have two tracks of non-organised talks and one track of organised workshops. Free tickets to the event, which takes place in the Central Library, are available here. More information about the event and how to get involved is available on Les’ blog.

I think this is terrific – the North needs a big event like this and Les and Claire are well-known people in the community who can make it happen.
