[FM Discuss] fm conf?

[helen varley jamieson]

great idea, adam :)

i'd love to help & attend, but i'm already heavily involved in another 
festival taking place in wales 16-21 august; so i could really only 
attend if it happens at the end of august. & in terms of helping i could 
contribute to planning & other early stuff but not really during august. 
(i'm also pretty busy in september - seems like everything is happening 
in august & september this year!)
