As one of the [four large gents](https://www.lugradio.org/) I am pleased to announce LUGRadio Live 2007 will happen on the **7th and 8th July 2007** at [The Lighthouse](https://www.light-house.co.uk/) in Wolverhampton, England.

LUGRadio Live is an awesomely cool, fun, social and interesting two-day conference based around Open Source, free software and related subjects. The show packs in interesting speakers, exhibitors, BOF sessions, debates and a live recording of [LUGRadio](https://www.lugradio.org/) in front of an audience.
